I love it here even more every day. I am beginning to think I will never leave. Every day I go for a walk and just look at all the things. Everything is so colorful here. The sky is so blue. The clouds are so white. There is such a contrast and I love it. This is the perfect city to be young and in love in, let me tell you. I mean, I am not in love with anyone here, except the city itself, but it is just one of those cities that is perfect to walk around holding hands with someone you love. There is this nice little park where I walked yesterday, and I have walked before, and there are always couples there together. Young couples, old couples, couples with kids walking and riding their bikes. It is just so beautiful. I love it so much, but it makes me wish that I did have someone to walk hand in hand with. It would just be perfect. Like a scene straight out of a movie. I guess I will have to work on that.
Anyway...classes are good. I am taking five, but one of those is only on Fridays, so I have yet to experience that. I really like all the professors. They are layed back and everything seems really calm. For part of the final in my grammar class I have to turn in 50 written pages of Spanish. But it can be over any topic that I want. And it can be multiple topics, like a few pages on one thing and some more on something else. It just has to add up to 50 pages in the end. Really, I don´t think it is going to be that bad. I really like my conversation teacher. He is a pretty funny guy, and the only one of my teachers that really speaks English. My senora told me that he plays tennis and that I should ask him to play with me. I might after a while. I don´t have a racket or anything down here and I don´t have the money to buy one really. Even though things are pretty cheap down here, I have really spent the money. I mean, I had to buuy my VISA and pay for a few things like that and it seems like I have already spent soooo much money. I really want to continue the salsa lessons, but I just don´t think I can afford it. And I have plenty of other things that I want to buy too. It sucks being poor. Oh well enough of that.
Learning more everyday. It is pretty cool. There are still those moments, espcially when senora is talking to someone in her family, when I have no idea what is going on. But oh well. I just sit there is silence. Must try to think of things to talk about, or to get them to talk about things that I understand so that I can add more than just a ¨Que bueno¨ to the conversation. That´s all for now. I think I will go walk through some of the little tienda because I am not quite ready to go home yet.
Love you all so much and miss you.
