Today was a much better day! Classes went well. I really like my teachers. They are very patient and understanding. The group is starting to try to talk in spanish amongst ourselves which has lead to some very amusing spanglesh episodes... today at lunch we had little white potatoes as a side dish. One of the girls tripped and they fell off her plate and went everywhere. She yelled out... -Oh no! I have spilt mi papas all over me!!- I probably shouldn't have laughed at that but I did.

I had my first cooking class as well today! ... I am going to love that class. We get to eat what we make at the end of class. It was sooo yummy!! Today we made chalupas and rice pudding from scratch... I don't like rice pudding so much but the chalupas were amazing. After class we headed back to the dorms. I got a shower and took a nap... I know it was very exciting... and now I am starting on the mounds of homework I have. This weekend I am going to Oaxaca!! I am very excited!!
