paradigm shift

Wow what a difference it makes in my life from before school and now. I have a WONDERFUL host family that takes great care of me and Tayna, my roommate. There is Elda, mi madre mexicana and Javier her husband and their daughter Patricia and her daughter Natalia who is 3 and precious. They have a really nice place and a pool in the backyard...so basically i live in a resort =) School is annoying right now because we are doing a bunch of registration stuff and so basically we wait a LOT....but that is kind of mexico so i guess i shouldn't complain. Another thing that annoys me is going around in massive groups of americans...no bueno. but on the whole it has been great and it will be great as soon as classes start and we aren't forced to bunch together. So...on Monday night I stayed at the AIM girls house and hung with them a little...we watched a movie called 'the island' and i really enjoyed it. Tuesday I had to take a taxi to meet my host family because i wasn't coming in with all the rest of the group. I got there and they welcomed me and it was great. The campus is amazing, with basketball courts and a gym and all that--i think i may have put that in here before but yea, i'm still happy with it. and once we get our passwords i'll be able to use the computers there, which will be good. Last night we all went out like seems is mandatory for american students and inundated the places around the center. it was fun but i just feel like its too much american sometimes...still, we had a good time. today we were all supposed to go take a tour of downtown and learn how to ride the buses...but i already know that and know downtown so i just told them i wasn't going...and took some people with me. it has been so much more fun.
tomorrow and saturday are free days so i don't know what i'm going to do but classes don't start til tuesday. I'm in conversation and like a composition class.
alright, i'm tired of typing so that's it! =)
