Good morning! Well, not so much for the host fam. Apparently the bus that picks up Juan Jose came too early because he and his mom waited 15 minutes for it to pass by, and it never came. Come to find out, that they must wait five minutes for kids to get to the bus and they're not allowed to beep. I must clarify it's not really bus. It's a yellow and black van. Bus or not, my host parents weren't happy so they called and complained to a lady who lives nearby and works at the school. She offered to take him to school. It just so happens that today my host mom needed to leave the house early to accompany the gramma to the doctor. As a result I had Milo cereal by myself. It's pretty much Cocoa Puffs but the box is yellow and there's a soccer player, a goalie, flying through midair to block the ball.
So there we were on Thomas de Berlanga again, getting a taxi to get to school. We went straight to our classroom and then later the teacher arrived. After that Yonseili left home so she can study for her Business Communications exam. Don't worry, she did ask Raquel for permission and she was okay with it. During the break I hung out with Christian and he was telling me about how Gary E. Johnson, ex-governor (29th) of New Mexico, will be running for President. Geeze, it's almost that time again. How fast time flies.
Literature without Yonseili was weird. After that I went home in a taxi with the $5 Yonseili let me borrow just in case of something. I forgot my money bag today. When I arrived I saw Yonseili waiting outside the gate for a taxi so that she can go to school and take her test. I went inside and took a nap. She woke me up at about 3 and said she got a B on her test. She did a good job. Then my host mom gave us, as well as Valentina and Juan Jose, lunch.
Highlight of the day: It was letter soup! and also rice, meat, salad. The soup was good, especially with a little bit of lemon.
We went up to my room to do our literature homework. She went to have dinner at her place as I finished up the homework, then I had dinner and we continued homework.
We watched My Family's Wedding with my host mom. I say "watched" because we were both on our computers and my host mom usually falls asleep during them. I thought it was a great movie, but I will have to watch it again in English to get all the jokes and things I might have lost in the translation.
Later I talked with my fam and found out my grandma isn't doing well. She got pneumonia and tonight she seems to be doing okay, she's stable. Not good news. 'Night.
a day in the life of.....
