Fiesta!

In celebration of my brothers 22nd birthday we had a party here with all of his friends. I got to meet 3 of them that he studies with at the University. It was exciting be be able to speak in English with the his friends and actually have them understand me! I learned things about Peru and they in return asked many questions about the United States which I was happy to know they were interested in my culture and where I´m from as much as I was interested in their culture. They gave me their telephone numbers so that we can hang out which I thought was very nice of them.

I ran for the first time today... since I was put in a home where a park is just a few houses down and my mother saying you like to run, right? I now feel obligated to run ALOT and who knows it is probably for the better since I eat lots of rice potatoes and chicken. I need some way of staying in shape! I mean volleyball will be here before I know it and it will come in handy later... let´s just hope i keep it up. Ohhh... plus there are benches made of stone that seem like a great height for a jump box to improve my vertical! :) oh how I can´t wait to do those. Anyways, it has been very overwhelming but I´m getting more relaxed and not as many headaches from not understanding the Spanish. Off to finish up my homework for the first day of classes.

° All my UT friends: Good Luck on your finals! Last week of school and you are done for the summer!!! :)
