yum!
yesterday's lunch was white rice and stir-fry meat, onions, and peppers. i actually ate the onions. :-) daddy: i didn't die from them! *L* the meal, overall, was good. there were two pieces of wheat bread as well. and lemonade.
then dinner last night was the pizza.
breakfast today were those weird sandwhiches and chocolate cake.
lunch today was .... SPAGHETTI!!! :-) cherry koolaid, chocolate cake, no bread. but it was all very good and filling.
dinner will probably be some kind of soup. seems like breakfast is pretty simple and made of the previous night's leftovers (i.e. tomato sauce from pizza), lunch is heavier, and dinner is usually lite made of previous lunch's leftovers (i.e. chicken broth from earlier cooked chicken). but yes, Mom, lunch is the biggest meal of the day. which is fine by me, as long as i can eat it.
there were also kids at lunch today. we don't get formally introduced to people, so i don't really know who they were. but two kids. and even the youngest one i couldn't understand! ugh ... i don't know how i'm going to ever get this.
the girls here at school who are unfriendly are actually American. but young. Marlene talked to a girl today who lives in Crested Butte. she's just quiet, not clickish/snobby. but she leaves soon. and i think the snobby girls leave soon.
i got really frustrated with my teacher today. and yesterday. the stuff i learned before coming here is kind of coming back to haunt me. it turns out it's not exactly right and so it gets me confused, even more than i already am! ugh! some woman in charge came around today (as she does every Thursday apparently) and asked how i liked my teacher, family, and lessons. i basically just answered positively because i don't want to jump the gun on being negative about things it only being my fourth day. but, if next week i still feel the same way about Lesbia and her style, i'll ask to change teachers.
well, i found a power strip just now under the desk of the public computers, so i think i'll plug my laptop in and tackle more pictures for ya. stay tuned!

I'm sorry you are frustrated today and yesterday with you teacher. We'll pray that God will open your mind and let things start sinking in better.
I know it's one of those situations where "I WANT IT NOW - I WANT TO KNOW IT NOW", etc, but it won't happen over night. I know that you are very capable of learning this language and will get past the current frustrations. It has only been like a week!!!! You got 9 more to go and by the end of it you'll have gained a better understanding. Not only are you learning the language but you are learning their culture and how they live. That is SO awesome. God is with you.
