tuesday july 27

today has been fairly uneventful. we got up, had fruit for breakfast, and went to school. cj studied the parts of the body, and i worked on regular and irregular verbs. i think we did about 100 verbs today so you can imagine how little i´ve retained out of it! during the mid-morning break, cj took pictures. after class we went home and had lunch- rice and lentils, and cj played a little bit with our host sister. she made her some buttons with her button maker. at around 2:30 we went out and went to the bank and then went to the same coffee shop where we got some dinner on sunday night and had some iced coffee. cj enjoyed it but of course she was having a bathroom emergency in about 30 seconds. we worked on homework there. i have a lot of spanish homework tonight, more work on verbs and also on interrogative sentences. fun stuff! some of it is fairly straight forward and some is quite counter intuitive.
this weekend, we´re thinking about going on a trip to lake atilan and tomorrow we´re going on a trip in the afternoon to the hot baths, so there is a good chance i will not update unless we leave much later or get back much earlier than i would anticipate.
today on our way to school we ran into another person from our school, emily, who as it turns out lives in washington heights and is roommates with marissa torres from hamilton heights! pretty crazy! it´s strange how things like that happen.´
the pictures attached to this post (sorry that they´re sideways, but i´m frankly pretty impressed with the fact that i was able to get them to upload from my camera to the computer directly and post them in the blog in the first place!) are of cj having her iced coffee at the coffee shop this afternoon and her this morning standing in the doorway of the room where i have my classes, with the central courtyard behind her. the school is built around the center couryard with many tables surrounding the courtyard and many little rooms where a couple of groups (student and teacher) will have classes. tomorrow i´ll see if I can do a picture of her at home in our room if I can get the blog to cooperate and if i end up updating. little else to report right now!
