A Typical Day

7:30 am: wake-up naturally, no alarm. I love it. Shower, of course.
8 am: Breakfast. Huge!
8:40 am: Leave for school. A 20 minute walk
9:00 am: Begin classes with an awesome spanish teacher. He is so funny.
10:15 am: Break from class, go to a "pulperia" for coke or fanta
10:30: begin class again
11:30: Class ends, time for lunch.
11:45: Finally find and decide on a place to each lunch with whoever we choose.
12:30: walk around Jinotepe. Shop, use the internet...
1:30: Begin second session of class. It's a lecture about something Nicaraguan. Usually history, art or something like that..
3:00: Lecture ends
3:00: Walk around Jinotepe for the afternoon. Hang out with friends. Talk with Kyle. Whatever my heart desires.
5:00: My mom expects me home. Kyle walks me home...what a sweetheart! : )
5:30: begin some homework
7:00: Eat dinner
7:30: more homework
8:30: Bedtime....I know, so early! It's nice getting so much sleep though.

And that's my day here in Nicaragua. Fun, yeah?! I hope everyone is doing well back in the States. I am having so much fun, even with the communication block. My family and I are able to talk more and more each day!

Also, I find things EVERYDAY about my family that are so similar with my family in the states. The other day my mom was showing me pictures of the family and she came to one of my brother, Jose, his face was all scratched up and his lips were swollen. I asked what happened. She said that he fell off of a bike...and that he was really accident prone. Haha. Sounds like someone else I know. Love ya, mitch! : )

Well that's all for now. My family just got internet tonight. Yippee. So maybe I'll update more often? Sweet! : )

love you all and miss you!

Oh Alli ~ It sounds like you're adjusting quite well! Will you be staying with this family for the whole 12 wks? or do you go to another place for 1/2 of the time? You enjoy every minute of your time, because it will go extremely fast! (most of the time)
Love you & missing you! xoxoxoxo
Tell Kyle 'hi' for us! It's good you get to see each other and that he's getting to know your family!

Another similarity ... you are so spoiled! I'm sure they got internet just because you're there. :) Just kidding, I am SO glad you have internet, because I get to hear from you more often!
