I started my day with a nervous knot in my stomach! It lasted through breakfast and all the way to school. As soon as I got my first kiss on the cheek and my first huge smile from the security guard, I knew I'd be ok here! I didn't understand a single thig the teachers said all day, but I tried to make a good first impression anyway. It's more difficult in another language because everyone thinks you're stupid! They don't mean to, but they do.
One thing I assumed abou going to another country in a private catholic school, was that the students really wanted to be there to learn! I was really excited for a good learning environment, but I was so wrong! I actually think the classroom was louder here than I've ever heard in the US! To me it seems so disrespectful to talk and yell across the room while the teacher is talking! Maybe that's the norm here, I hope not, but if it is I'll adjust!
There is so much food here!! I tried ceviche last night, and it was ok! I think if I liked limes it would be heaven! My favorite is still papas con carne en arroz!! With inca kola and arroz con leche after!!! I think that's all I have!! Everyone was so nice to me at school today!
