Day 3 Wednesday

Today I finally showered! Thank goodness, my hair was getting really gross and I sweat so much here...it's really hot! The water is expensive here so I guess we're not supposed to shower long. I turn off the water when I'm not using it and take cold showers! I can't wait to be back home to take 15 minute showers with warm water...haha. Kaila, Mocca, and I walked to school today, it takes about 30-35 minutes. We stopped at the library to go on the computers but I instantly got kicked off. I think the people know I am a tourist and was being rude. Oh well...we went to school to use the computers, but before that I stopped at the Hardware Store to get a converter...so I could use my computer at school. It was my first day of class and it went well. There are 4 people in my class from the USA (all in my group of UWGB), 3 students from Germany, and 2 from Poland. Our professors name is Hernan and he is very nice and fun. He talks strictly Spanish, which is great for me, but some of the people in my class don't understand him very well and are struggling. Oh well. Many of the students attending the school are only here for 2 weeks, so I'll have new people soon. On our first day we learned fruits and vegtables, went over verbs, and did some worksheets. We were given homework, which was not difficult at all! During my break, I went to a small cafe with Gina and Matt (people from UWGB) and we got some crossiants and water. When school ended I went to look for a telephone but they are very expensive. So no phone for me! I went to an internet cafe instead and emailed and talked with Jordon over AIM...I am very homesick today. Then I went o Parc Guell for a walk with Marisol and Rochelle (part of UWGB group, they live close to Kaila and I) and finally went home from there. For dinner, we had porkchops and fries, it was really good! I broke down crying at the dinner table though because I miss home so much. My host sisters were very nice about it and said Jordon and my parents could call the house whenver. That made me feel better and Kaila, Ama, Mocca, and I stayed up talking until about 12:10 AM showing pictures of our families, boyfriends, and friends. It was really nice and kind of helped keep my mind off things! I finally went to bed at 1 AM!
