Safe and sound
Right now I am sitting in my study area which is a room off of my bedroom in the home of my senora. I haven't figured out how to make spanish letters and such yet...normally I would just copy and paste from word, but for some reason it won't let me do that. Anyway, I made it here without too many problems. Yes! The flights were uneventful...I watched "The King's Speech" and some other movie that I had never heard of before. I only got about 2 or 3 hours of sleep, and right now it's almost 11am here, but almost 3am at home so I am RATHER tired. I'm planning to stay up until bedtime here though. It's kinda weird since I don't feel like I'm as nervous or excited as I would expect...I think it still hasn't sunk in yet that I'm staying here for a whole quarter, or that I'm actually living here. Getting to my host family wasn't too hard either, although it was indeed scary since the ACCENT center which arranges all of it pretty much just gave me the address and sent me on my way haha. I took a taxi here, so it was really easy to find, although once I got to the building I was lucky that there were people standing outside who helped me because otherwise I would have had no idea where to go. That's pretty much all that's happened so far, later I'm going back to the ACCENT center to meet up with some of the othe students for lunch and exploration! Also my roommate should be arriving shortly, so my senora is making sandwiches for us, and then I'm sure we will probably talk and such. This ended up being longer than I thought it was going to be...forgive rambliness and or choppiness haha. More later! Also! My host mother has a dog! She's named blanquita "little whitey" or something along those lines.
