second day of school

Hi guys

So today was my second day at school. My class had calmed down a lot about me being new which was really nice because i actually got to talk to people and not just crowds.

Yesterday I bought my uniform for ed fisica (gymnasio) and when they say gymnasio, it really is gymnastics. We did sumersalts and cartwheels (which was quite funny for those of you that know that I have NEVER successfully landed one). The girls had so much trouble which was great because we all worked together. In my class of 39 kids, only 11 are girls. Which, actually works out nicely because everyone gets along. During gym, all the girls were together and the boys split up. I thought it ws interesting that the boys pride themselves on their skills in gymnastics and the girls have lot of trouble. Its the opposite in the U.S. So yep, that´s all we did was sumersalts and cartwheels, handstands to rolls. I loved it because i got to joke with my other classmates.

I´m starting to feel like i belong in the class and it´s only my second day! i had biology today also which was a nightmare because my profe talks SOO fast and SOOO quiet. The class spent the entirity of the time taking notes, word for word, as she said them. I WAS SOOOO BORED! an hour of sitting there and listening to a language you dont understand, awful.

but, the day lightened up because my host sister, Fani, has a friend over to work on math and she decided that they must throw me a party! yay! And then they proceeded to tell me words that i wouldnt learn in school. The highlight was when my host mom was trying to explain Rica which means ... kinda like, for those teens out there, thick lady. And she drew a curvy sillohette. It was great. Anyways, i need to get off but i thought i would tell you all those things. I understamd spanish twice as well as yesterday! It´s a miracle!
