Colegio & Hopes Up

    WOW took long enough! But I finally love the school I'm in. No, there is nothing to do at recreo, no permission to play volleyball, no posters on the walls, no lockers or hallways or clocks or water fountains (because you can't drink the water here haha) but. I love it. All of a sudden, not sure what changed, but I'm no longer super super pissed off and annoyed by my loud, screaming classmates. Took long to get used to, but it's awesome. Starting to loosen up with the teachers too, and I didn't realize how much spanish I can understand! I'd almost forgotten what the first few days were like, when I just sat there zoning out. Now I zone out, because it's what I do at school, no matter what country; but I can still understand (for the most part) what's being said/what's going on. It no longer takes all my brainpower to focus on every sentence. Awesome. And I pretty much LOVE my classmates. Omar, Luis, Yuriko, Yessenia, Christina, Chenny, Kathy, Maricielo, Daevis, Pablo, Junior, Anna-Emily, Veronica, Josue. Todos. We're tight. <3 haha and yesterday, for the first time, I DID AND UNDERSTOOD MY HOMEWORK WITHOUT GOOGLE TRANSLATE, and even got it mostly done before I went to the cine with Fran and watched Resident Evil 4 with spanish subtitles :P

     I know I had a lot to write yesterday, but didn't get a chance, and now I forget it. Nancy now takes the modem away and hides it because Fran is on the computer too much. Also, I'm not sure why, but she has a "no homework after dinner" rule. So if I'm not finished it before dinner, then. Too bad. I have no idea why finishing homework after dinner is a bad thing. Anyways... i'll try to remember.

     OOO. Yesterday. Right. So yesterday, after green-coloured chicken-foot and leg soup, I DECLINED an invitation to the sauna with Fran and Jhosey; no idea why. Something's obviously wrong with me, but anyways. When they were at the sauna I had some time alone in Jhosey's room, and I put on my headphones and just started crying. That breakdown was a LOOONG time coming. So I'm glad I got some of it out. I hate that weird tension on and under your skin and muscles when you're holding in sadness and frustration and such, was way overdue for a release. Hoof! Feel better now.
