Chin Up

So this blog this is kind of a pain but i'll do my best.

I'm finally feeling better after a horrible first 3 or so days here. I've since moved into my homestay with Eloisa, Antonio, and Eloisa's sister whose name i have yet to catch amid conversation. My guestimate is that they're around 70ish and it's like living with grandparents. They want you to eat tons and always be happy, which i am neither of the two but i'm doing my best. They knew i was sick and figured the only way for me to get better was to eat tons of food for strength when in actuality that was the opposite. The rice they fed me with fishy liquid was too hard to get down and i told them i just didn't feel well. They spoke to my program director and realized that food was not the best idea at the moment. So since i was sick on Monday i missed the first day of class, but went to class today.

The language class that i'm taking for the first 2 weeks is at my level, at least so far, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that things stay that way with the rest of the classes i have to take. I haven't really met anyone because i missed orientation and that's when everyone formed their groups but hopefully i can work my way into one. As for now i'm going to try and find a place to buy some notebooks, a telephone, and an internet card, who knows how successful i'll be.

The have organized basketball, soccer and volleyball tuesdays and wednesdays so i'm going to try that, and unfortunately i'm not allowed to use the university's gym so that's going to be weird for me not to live there like i do at UConn's gym.

That's pretty much all i have for now, and hopefully things keep getting better. I'm trying to scope out a bar where i can watch the superbowl on sunday and if i'm lucky someone else who will watch it with me!
