Better day...

Yesterday was a better day. I got to go to Kayla's house, and they have wi-fi!!! So I got to Skype with Danny... yay! And her power actually worked to charge my stuff, so I didn´t blow a fuse like I did the night before. We had a welcome ceremony at the school, and one of the performing dancers made me get up and dance in front of the audience with him, thank goodness for those ballroom lessons. Haha. We also met our compañeros, mine doesn´t speak tons of English, and I have a hard time thinking of what to say, so I stay fairly quite, and I feel bad about that. I am hoping we will get along better later. Last night we went to a pub and had a great time. We were there from 10 till almost 1. I was so exhausted when I went to bed. It was fun, but there were still many hard times yesterday. This morning I am having an extrememly hard time, I miss my family and friends SO much. I know things will get better, but right now it doesn´t really feel like it. I really just wish I could come home. I am so tired of trying to communicate. At night my head literally feels like it is swollen. Rossana, my host mom, is so nice, but communicating is just so hard. I will hopefully get to go out to coffee with Florencia, the program director here, later today. She is teaching us, and is also like a second mom to us.

Anyway, I am having some fun, but am still in the midst of crappy culture shock. I am still not sure if this whole thing was a good idea, but I´m here now. Sorry that these posts just keep getting longer and longer. Hope you are all doing well, and I will talk to you later. Chao.
