I thought I was settling in, but this week I was sick. I was not feeling well at all. I ended up having to take some antibiotics and thankfully it worked and I am feeling better again. I´m still not sure what my schedule will be; I`m hoping that everything will be decided on Monday. I didn`t realize how much I like a schedule until I didn`t have one. I`m slowly adjusting more and more and I think it will be a little while before I am completely adjusted. I`ve met a bunch of nice people. One in particular is Tina. She is 24 and works at the university; she will be going for a master`s degree this fall in sociology. She took me to her home and I met her family. Her mother made tostadas for me...they were very good. She also walked with me around the downtown and I got to see more of the sights. The next day I went to her house for a "carne asada" (literally...grilled meat). Her whole family meets and shares food and company. It is a traditional weekend activity. I played Mexican bingo with her family too.
Side note: I am starting to be more comfortable with listening to the Spanish. It seems that I have to familiarize myself with how each person talks. So, every time I meet someone it starts over again. Obviously, some are easier to understand than others.
chow,
