This morning I didn't want to wake up but then I remembered I bought a new dress and my inner girly-girl got really excited. When I got to class this morning we started with a memory game. We looked for two minutes at a photo of a family getting ready for a trip and Natalia took away the photocopies and gave us a second sheet which we then used the pretérito perfecto to tell if the family had done something or still hadn't done something. There were 12 statements and my group won by getting all but one correct. We then transitioned into playing bingo where we had to form the proper grammar structure (using tú/you) and then question our classmates and be questioned ourselves with answers in (yo/I)  and then write in the correct form (él/he ella/she). It was fun learning about people's different experiences and having to think on your feet. After someone bingo'd we took our 11 o'clock break and I got café con leche from a vending machine and it was surprisingly good. When we got back to class we listened to this song and then talked about the song and did related activities. After the fourth or fifth time hearing it the song got stuck into my head. I really like Spanish music and was really disappointed that a lot of the music on the radio is in English. We then talked about using 'quedarse' vs 'quedar' which is still confusing. And then we finished class with more interviews that tied everything together. For most of the day I was partnered with José who is from Brazil so I was forced to use more spanish which was fun and we had both dictionaries on hand if we needed to translate things back and forth.

For lunch today we had white rice covered it what I thought was marinara sauce, but blander. We also had fried eggs and mini-saugages with coke, and fruit for dessert. After lunch, I ended up taking a two and a half hour nap, it was totally worth it. I then started to work on my speech for tomorrow and decided that it'd be easier to talk about Momma because- hey I can talk about Momma for five minutes without stopping. I then made the not-so-smart decision to sit under the A/C unit and after about an hour I was actually cold for the first time in this 90 degree weather. I spent most of my non-napping evening either working on my homework or watching Spanish game shows with Lara. But then at 9:30 I headed off to Casco for sangria with some friends- which turned into the entirety of he Nebraska group over the course of the evening- at Enebro. The sangria comes in a glass that reminds me of a beer pint, and it's really good especially if you sip one over the course of the evening.

Sorry this post is so short, I guess that's what happens when you nap for 2.5 hours and work on homework- nothing to fun happens.
Love you all!
