Normal Day

Today, Wednesday I thought class started at 9:00, but I was wrong. It really started at 8:30. Mi friend, Katie came to my house at 8:00 to walk with me. I had just finished getting ready, but I had not eaten breakfast. I told mi mama that I did not have time to eat today. Being very concerned she made me drink my glass of juice very quickly and then packed the fruit up in a bag for me. We arrived for class right on time. Class today was about the recent condition of the country. After class we went to a school next to the college. There was both a primary and secondary school. Me and another girl observed in a third grade classroom. It was crazy. There were 37 students there with one teacher. She had to yell the whole time so that the students could hear her over the talking and yelling of the other students. The children there loved us because we were gringas. When I told them that I was from the US they asked me if I had ever been to Disney World. After that we went to the mall again to use the internet and phone, and then to shop. I found a really cute dress for really cheap. All the stores at the mall have a security guard at the door with a gun. It’s a little intimidating. At most stores we have to check our backpacks, because there not allowed in the stores. Afterwards, me and my friend Hope wanted to find a different place to go besides the mall, because that’s the only place we really go. We walked for a while but saw nothing but little shops and houses, so we returned to the university. Katie and I figured out which bus we needed to use. The walk is then a lot shorter. Because I missed breakfast this morning mi mama wanted me to eat an early dinner. I had beef that was very rough. They usually give me a lot of food and most of the time I do not know what to do when I become full. Today mi papa told me that if they give me too much food, I should put aside some of the food right away and then only eat the part I want. That way they can easily save the rest. I have a lot of homework tonight, so I should probably start.
