examenes

Well, today I had both of my first exams in my classes...and I am happy to say they were easy. Our classes here transfer back as pass/fail so i don't really have to worry about my grades but as many of you know, i kind of can't help it. I truly feel bad when i don't do my best on homework and stuff...i don't know what it is, but sometimes i wish i could just not care and just not do it or do it badly...ah well, i better quit talking about it or some of you who read this are just going to stop =)
I don't really have a whole lot to post tonight because it has just been school and hanging out here at home for the most part. I like talking to my host parents. They are really cool people--Javier who I think i already said is from Spain, was watching the football (soccer) game between spain and russia the other day--he was SO happy spain won! And Elda is always right here when we need something, there's never any awkwardness like there can be sometimes when you are in someone else's house and don't always understand everything they say. Though...i have to say I am proud of myself for holding conversations with them most every night. I feel like I can actually communicate, if not all that fluently or correctly sometimes =)
Ok, last thing that is kinda funny...so tonight me and 2 other girls wanted to go get sushi cause we heard there was a good place in the mall. So we went and we saw on the menu that mon, tues and wed nights there is a 2 for 1 special on certain sushi. so we thought why not? we should all get two and then eat a lot of sushi it'll be great right? so we each ordered 2 and the waiter told us that we were only paying for 3 and then he added that we can't take any of it to go...which should have tipped us off, but processing things in spanish still takes time. So whatever...it came and there was more sushi on our table than i have seen on one table in my life...seriously, it was a lot. haha...it makes me laugh just thinking about it! so...we made a valiant effort to eat it all, didn't quite, but it was delicious, and only $12 each for sushi, miso soup and bottled water...yum! So, this weekend we are going to Mexico City and Teotihuacan and i just can't wait to be herded around like a bunch of cows...such fun! ;) goodnight!
