Day 3 - First Day of Class!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! they make me feel better and I know people are reading this blog :)

Classes started today and I was super nervous about it but since there are only 4 other students in my class it was great! It was like we had a personal tutor, not sure what how much homework we'll have but right now it's not a lot just practice reading Spanish out loud and holding a conversation. It seems really easy in class, I just hope I can actually apply it and think quick on my feet when giving a response. There are two other ISA students that live a few blocks from mine and Emmi's (my roommate) host family and we lucked out that 2 of us can always walk with each other to campus. So this morning Courtney and I walked to our building which is a satellite campus a few blocks from the university and Emmi and Tiffany (Courtney's roommate) had class later.

After class we went to the university to have lunch and a few other ISA students were there. We did the thing that you're not suppose to do which is sit in a big group of gringos and speak English..oops :). After lunch we were going to go on another tour of the opposite side of town than the one from yesterday but Courtney and I decided to head home because the tour didn't start on time and we both wanted to go practice our Spanish. We quizzed each other on the walk back making up sentences and saying them in Spanish.

It's taking a long time to post pictures today, not sure what is going on. So tomorrows post might just be pictures. I might get a flickr account

Class again tomorrow but then we are going to Miraflores to go shopping and then we have a night tour on a double decker bus! Should be fun and I'll take lots of pictures then!
