Monday

Hola! I feel like I haven't written in forever even though that's not really true. Today is the Monday of all Mondays. Just because it seems to be the start of everything, not just the week. I had more orientation today. I took a written and oral test (boo). They were really hard but we decided it didn't matter since it's not like they are going to send us home if we fail or anything. Classes officially start on Wednesday. I'm taking a grammar class, a conversation class, a movie culture kind of class and a culture class. I'm in the classes with the other exchange students so it'll be fun to get to know them in a class setting. Some are so good at spanish so this will seperate us into levels I think so I'll stop feeling like the only one who doesn't know anything (I hope).
My host family is great. I'm not used to having so many people around so I think that's my only issue. When I come home all I feel like doing is shutting myself in my room and getting on the computer or reading but I'm trying to not do that. The 2 youngest boys are constantly talking to me and asking me questions. I havent' figured out if that's a good thing or not.
I'm feeling better about this whole thing today. My biggest issue is not having coffee. Without it I feel sick all day because it helps my stomach. Last night it felt like I was constantly getting up and down thinking I was going to throw up but it never happened. I feel a little bit better this afternoon. I hope it'll go away eventually. I feel bad for my host mother because she tries to help but there's nothing I can do. The coffee here will just not suffice. I was talking to her earlier and I'm pretty sure she said all she has for dinner is coffee...Which is really going to aggravate the situation if it's true. Eating more food at night helps me not get sick in the morning but we'll see. I'm definitely feeling more awake than I have been so that's nice. I don't feel like I'm going to die if I don't lie down. I did get a little tired this morning during orientation but I think that was more out of boredom than anything. Did you know it's rude to yawn here? I'm like the yawning queen, I do it every 2 seconds. Who knows how many people I have offended.
Anyway, right now I'm thinking about trying to curl up in bed and read a book without offending anyone. It's cold and that sounds so nice and cozy. I miss everyone so much. Thanks for your support!
