Stop Hanging Out With Your English Speaking Friends

I hate when there's a group of people who have to introduce themselves and there's that one shy girl in the group who's afraid to talk loud. This is what happens:

Shy Girl: Hi, I'm mumb....
Everyone: WHAT!!!???
SG: mumbl.....
Obnoxious Kid: "WHAAT??! *gets closer*
SG: *afraid* Nevermind, you can just call me whatever you want
OK: Alright, CUnt


Yesterday was the longest day ever. I got up early to visit my partner University. I'm the only person attending from the program :/ But I'm gonna be going to a dance school in the city. I feel so flash dance. I'm just gonna start taking off my bra during random conversations with people to really get into the character (I hope you've all seen this movie). I have that Jennifer Lopez song "I'm Glad" stuck in my head. I'm obviously excited about this. *sings into a brush* "Eeeveryyy tiiime"

Later in the day, I went to the first day of sports. Luckily a guy from the dorm (Mike Ambler stunt double) has Soccer at the exact same time in the same area, so he helped me figure out the bus, and I helped him communicate. The bus ride was about an hour long, but I think it's worth it for a good workout/I love sports, so I'm probably going to go ahead back. When we got there, the soccer field came up first, so he went there, then I went to the gym for volleyball. When I finally found the entrance, they told me volleyball wasn't meeting that night. I ended up running into the sports director later and he said that they were going to start next week. I am so pumped to play sports. I feel like I'm doing all the things here that I for some reason just wait to do/never end up doing at home. Prob because I'm here a short time and I want to take advantage, but I should look at life that way as a whole. I would be so much more productive. Or maybe I should spend every semester abroad so that I'll take advantage of life :) Also, a lot of people are impressed that I go to Michigan. I think we take it for granted (in state kids) but we should give ourselves more credit. People love that school. And it is a good school, but it is a habit to be modest, so I understand.

Because everything is so far away/ things are generally less efficient/move more slowly here, my meal plan is pretty useless. A good part of my day will be spent on the bus or subte. Both my partner university and the volleyball are an hour away. I'm gonna have to go to the grocery store and pack some bag lunches. A homestay is looking pretty good right now.

That kid in the picture picked a pomegranate from a tree (?) and ate it, while we were at the ranch. More pictures later, I just haven't put them on the computer. I found my camera cord.

Also, if you find the language my blog offensive, please do not read it. I'd like to give insight into my barely edited thoughts, because I feel it makes a more effective blog. All of the topics I discuss/language I use here are things that I'm comfortable saying in front of my grandmother. Why do people use grandmothers as an example of innocence, when they've actually seen way more than we have? Don't know.

Leave some comments, so I know you're still reading. If not, I can just upload pics to the tumblr page.

Good day, suh
