Today was my third day of school and I am still loving it. The excitement has worn off slightly but I think that is only because I have a lot of homework every night. Other than that though I am really enjoying it and I am learning an amazing amount in such a short amount of time. I am very pleased with how this part of my experience is turning out. . . I was just a little skeptical!
So not only have the schools been on vacation this week but it has been raining so much, thanks to Hurricane Alex, that it is dangerous to travel to the women circles I work with due to roads being washed out. So instead of working with the women circles I have been doing a tone of work around the AMA house; running errands, cooking meals, washing dishes, changing sheet. . .etc. All of which is very important and is actually quite enjoyable, especially because of the wonderful women I get to work with.
Today after class I came back to find Gladys, Claudita, and Juantia (our cook for the week. . . her food is sooooooooooo good) warming up all our left overs for their lunch. They asked if I wanted to join and I gladly did so. It was quite the bonding experience and I loved every second of it. Since my Spanish is getting better I carried on conversations with all of them through out lunch and even found out the correct way to make black beans!!! (I had quite the embarrassing mishap with a large pot of uncooked black beans last week. . . Yeaaaa. So I am extremely pleased about finding out the real way to cook them and the relationships I built today. It has been a very good and very filled day.
I have to go do homework!!! Check in again soon!!!!
