This week!

Monday I was excited because we got new teachers and it was going to be another fresh start with learning spanish. We got there and there was a bunch of new students who looked exactly as lost as I was the previous week before! My friends and I meet all of them who are super nice people. We told them everything they need to know and made them feel welcome. The teacher rang the bell and it was class time. I found out my teacher was and older lady named Miria. When I got to the class it was just me and another woman named Susan. The class was horrible because right away I wasnt used to the way this new teacher was teaching and she wasnt very nice at all. Susan was getting stressed because her and the lady were not getting along and god it was horrible. I couldnt stop looking at my watch because I wanted to get out of there. Right when the teacher rang the bell for breakfast I ran to the directors office and told her that I wanted to switch because we were going over stuff from the week before and I was really unhappy. The director said she would talk to her and tell her to start on this weeks stuff. I still wasnt happy because I didnt want to be with that teacher at all. After breakfast I got back to class and the teacher apologized for doing stuff from the week before because she didnt know. We got through another long two hours and finally got to lunch. Susan came up to me and told me she was going to a lower class because the level was too high for her and she couldnt go on with this teacher. That made me feel better because it gave me hope that i could not be stressed out anymore with the teacher and Susan getting into arguments about stuff that Susan didnt get. The next day was better. I got to school and found a new person who took Susans place. It was a man named Navid from Washington. He was pretty quite at first but then opened up. It was his first day and I was the first person he met. As the week went on I learned alot from Miria and I started to like her more and more as the week went on. On Tues I walked to school with my friends. It is a 45min and it took us only 30min because as the teachers told us we were so young and fit lol! The same day after lunch I was messing around with the soccer ball in the plaza when one of the grounds crew came up and asked me if I play Futbol. I said si and then he yelled to the other grounds crew and they were happy. He told me the next day were going to play and I need to find student to play also. That was a big highlight for me. Wed after lunch the grounds crew came to the plaza ready to play. They brought out two small goals, big enough for two balls to fit through. I got my friends who were new this week and we played barefoot. The game was 3v3 and super fun. All the gringos including me became tired fast because of the altitude but got over it soon enough. There were two guys from the grounds crew Febreezio and Rudy, and then one maid, Sierra. The game got more intense when it started to down pore. People were falling and sliding and in was a huge muddy mess! After the game we went to the bathing room to wash up before the last hour and a half of class but the water wasnt working very well because the kicthen ladies were doing the dishes. I finished up the day by doing my homework, eating and going to bed! Thurs Navid asked my the day before to take him up the moutain and show him the way to school. I did it gladly and we got to school on time. The view is great and its always sunny in the morning which makes the walk even better. Again we played soccer and it was super fun. The class with Miria is perfect and I am happy. Today we had class and everyone left to go to the Caribean beach for the weekend. I didnt want to go because the whole trip was to expensive the way it was set up and I want to go there when I will have more time. So the last hour and a half of school I went to the pool and sat with my legs in the water. I chilled there for a bit then went back to see what Miria was up too. When I cam back she was asleep with her book in her hand. She woke up and then ask me what I wanted to do. We went on a walk and then got inspired to pick up fresh mangos that had recently fallin. We picked up about 20 or so and went down different trails to see if there were anymore. Miria told me to pick some unripe mangos from the tree because the juice from the unripe mangos helps take out stains from clothes. As we were getting to the end of our walk were heard thunder in the distance. Its really cool to hear because Conversa is on the side of a mountain over looking the city thats in a valley, so the sound echoed off the mountains and was alomost like surround sound! Tonight I am going to make Tres Leches with Gata my tia and buy pizza for the whole family for dinner! This weekend Venicio my dad is going to teach me all about horses and how to take care of them.
