No hablo espanol...
I'm really feeling down today. It was the first day of orientation (the only day I guess.) and I realized how much I don't know. It was nice to see a few people I know from my past spanish classes. One girl's boyfriend is in Luke's band so it's nice to have that connection. We both have the same (negative) outlook on this whole thing. We miss our boyfriends, we miss home and we can't understand anything anyone is saying! I was amazing to see how many people in the program are completely fluent already! They were jabbering away to eachother in SPANISH. Once I caught up with the girls (Laura and Natalie) I was happy to find out that none of us knew what anyone was saying. We've only taken two years of spanish and it sounds like everyone else has taken a lot more...or we're just retarded. I can only hope everything gets better in a hurry. I move in to my host family's house tomorrow and Mom leaves on Monday. I wish I could go with her.

ps. I read this one edited to your grandma...if she knows you're down she may try to show up...i'm pretty sure you don't have room for her and kitten in your room at your host family's house! :)
ooh girl- i can only imagine how overwhelming it must be, but think of it this way. if you didn't feel overwhelmed now- you would not be able to appreciate how far you'll have come by the end of the experience. you're totaally going to be able to jabber & i'm going to be insaaanely jealous, but then you'll help me & we can be friends again. lol. so glad you found some of your kind of people. thats muy importante;)
