Not much has happened this week, since I´ve been back. I´ve been going to class, teaching kids English, going to Yoga class, buying pastries, and reading a lot (I´ve been reading the bible in spanish), and talking with my host family. These six things probably account for at least 90% of my awake time this week. Seriously.
I brought back with me a baby computer, an Asus EeePC, which at 8.9" fits in my purse. The interesting thing is that it runs on Linux, so my new goal is to learn to use Linux. I´m up for the challenge. So far, I haven´t done huge things, but I´ve found the beauty of occassional frustration is the accomplishment that comes at the end. And it comes with some fun games, including a falling math equation game where you have to shoot them with the correct answer, sudoku, and a prenguin racing game. There´s wireless at my school, in most cafes here, and at the farm where Karen and I will be going.
This week I´ve been studying with Yesica (like Jessica). She´s great. We´ve been reviewing everything I´ve learned so far and basically just talking for the whole time. I´m going to have her next week too.
And, I love my host family more than ever.

I love your thoughts on the beauty of occasional frustration and joy of accomplishments.I know for sure that your mom is like that. She was thay way even as a little kid.
I have been muddling through windows forever-not familiar with your system at all.Is is very different? If anyone could do it, you certainly can.
Your daily life sounds very interesting. What made you decide to read the bible in Spanish?How cool is that! Most people don't read it in their own language. I would imagine your host family loves you very much as well. Who wouldn't.
Please know that if I have computer access, i will always be reading your blog.
te amo,
su tia Barbara
I agree con su tia. Who wouldn't love you? Es impossible resistar tus encantos.
So where does the other 10% of your time go - one can only assume to such unmentionable tasks as showering, using el bano, eating (but maybe that goes under talking to your family), dressing, ect. And according to my calculations that should be more like 13% of awake time (if I don't count eating) - so what are you cutting out? Are you flossing?
-anon.
