So I am very sorry for not updating. Computers are very hard to come by.
Basically I am busy all the time. We have orentation in the day time and go out at night. Between there it's all I can do to take a nap and eat. On Sunday hurt my knee really bad by jumping into the pool with my leg straight. How stupid of me.
On Monday we had an awful torturous scavenger hunt in the heat with my knee brace. How fun. But I did meet Manny and Stephanie which made it all better.
Tuesday I stayed out until midnight with Lindsey, who graduated from UNC this past year, just telling life stories.
Wednesday we went out to the bars for the first time.
Thursday it was "ladies night" at voy voy (bar) which suposedly meant free drinks but really just meant huge crowds.
Friday I decided to be an idiot and slice my finger open with my swiss army knife, burn my legs like crazy, hurt my knee again and cut my leg after scraping my burn down the step I slipped on. It was awesome. I was basically crying. Not to mention I am covered in mosquito bites.
I'm teaching my first class tomorrow. Since we're the internship group we're doing resume and interview skills. I have two other Americans in my group (one is a certified teacher and one barely speaks spanish) and one is a Dominican by the name of Gabriel.
Let's talk about that for a ratito (second). Gabby and I hung out on Wednesday and danced a lot and he became OBSESSED with me. He follows me like no other and asked me to be his girlfriend the day I met him. He's a super nice guy and if I did infact want a Dominican boyfriend it would be legit... however I definitely do not. So after avoiding him a ton and him not exactly getting the memo I had to "break up" with him last night. He told me "Es que estoy enamorado de ti" ("It's just that I'm in love with you"). I was like "...lo siento..." Then he asked me if I wanted to meet his parents. Lord.
In other news, I eat A TON here. I keep wondering where my money is going... yeah I'm eating it. I get gelato every day. It's SO good! I need to stop though. I'm known for being a little fatty now. Perfect.
I'm living with two girls called Yanelka and Lisalotte. They are super funny and nice, but they only speak spanish, which is EXCELLENT! I'm practicing a lot. I hung out with them all day today. I am also learning some cultural things such as the fact that they don't care about walking around naked at all (Rachel, you know how much I like that) and they leave there panties EVERYWHERE.
I will skype you if I ever figure it out.
MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
