I realized that all of my posts have been really long since I arrived. Because of this, I will try to keep this one a little more brief. My second day of school was infinitely better than the first. I still wasn´t able to understand my teachers, but I had English class, and I really like that teacher. I was able to hang out with the people that I liked, and that made the day a lot better. We had a ton of free time due to teachers not showing up, so I was glad I had friends. After school I hung out with Annika, Julie, and Caroline. I ate a BigMac for the first time and it was delicious!

Yesterday, I didn´t have school, and I don´t understand why, but I´m not questioning it because I don´t mind not having school! Caroline came over for a little bit to hang out. I had school again today, and it was pretty good, but it was really long. I was supposed to have 5 classes, but one of my teachers didn´t show up again. One of my classes was for 4.5 hours. It dragged on for forever. I was really happy after math class because I understood almost everything my teacher said. I feel like I am truly starting to make some good friends. Two of my friends speak English really well, and I asked how they learned, and they said TV and music. I think it´s really cool, however, I still speak in Spanish with them.

I don´t have school again tomorrow because it´s a national holiday. It´s great because every day of school this week feels like Friday. I also only have school on Monday and Tuesday next week, so I will have a 5 day weekend next weekend. My birthday is Friday, and I am very excited! I´m looking forward to starting to do some adventerous things here. I miss my family and friends as I had expected I would, but all is well here!
