FIrst day of classes.... Not too bad. The teachers are very patient and I wasn't the worst person in the class so that is good I think. I haven't felt very well today... mostly lack of sleep and dehydration. I hope. The native students moved in for summer classes yesterday and our dorm is no longer quiet. If I thought the noise was bad in the dorms at UH... at least there was carpet there to absorb some of it. I don't think I have ever seen so many people who talk so much. They make my girls look like quiet subdued little people. I am going to have to find time to go into Puebla and find somewhere with earpulgs. They also all smoke and there are no rules about not smoking in the dorms. Not real fond of cigarette smoke but I suppose I will get used to it. Ok enough complaining. You guys might get the impression I am not having a good time. At lunch they served a soup that was amazing. One of the best things I have ever tasted!! I signed up for my extra cultural classes as well today. I am taking cooking and ballroom dancing. I am very excited about it. Now I have to walk to the store for dinner before it gets dark.
