new chica

howdy to all...

at breakfast today, i got asked if liked "garlic bread," which incidentally had nothing to do with breakfast. or else Adolfo doesn't know what Americans consider garlic bread, which is more likely the case. anyways, i took the opportunity to say, "yes, but i don't like mustard." so now he knows. :-)

class went well today. Hugo is very encouraging. i so need that. and i learned stuff today, which is a plus. so overall, very good class day.

rushed home at lunch ... the rain was coming. it ended up starting during lunch and was a short one. right when i walked out to sit down at the table, Adolfo came in with a new student! :-) a girl from my school named Susan (or Suzanne) from Switzerland. seems nice enough. quiet. knows a lot more Spanish than me, but that seems to be everyone around here. i think, in all the school, i'm the one that knows the least. seriously. it's sad, but you gotta start somewhere.

so we ate our chicken with green chili sauce and brown rice and tortillas and got to know one another in spanish and broken english. then Adolfo came and sat down and talked it up with her while i was left in the dust of words. ugh. then she hurried off back to school for afternoon classes.

i wrote out postcards to mail today. made my bed with clean sheets (i didn't have to wash them), and walked to school to see if Alexia wanted to walk with me to the post office. she's said a couple of times she needed to go too. i walked past my new fellow housemate studying with my teacher Hugo. :-)

anyways, the picture link works now, for real. so go below to the previous post and click on it to see all 110 pictures of that album. lots of doors to see. :-)
