Day 4: The beach cures all.

So we overslept this morning and had to grab our breakfast and go.  I feel bad because our host mom and aunt got up early—as in 5:15 am early—to make it for us.  The least we can do is share the meal with them.  I'm going to try to wake up earlier.

I had another class today with a different professor and I'm a little worried about it.  It's Culture of Latin America. There are only 5 of us in the class and I'm the only one who didn't serve a Spanish-speaking mission.  The professor is harder to understand than my other one and he uses a lot of vocabulary that I don't know.  I like him though.  He's very opinionated and how I imagine the classic college professor to be.  He asks thought provoking questions that we can't really answer and likes to question what the textbooks say.  Anyway, the class really did go well enough and I knew what was going on (basically), but I'm already bad at history and now I'm having to understand it through a foreign language.  It seems like there are going to be a lot more assignments than the students in the other classes are going to have, so I'm already seeing my study abroad fun slip away.  However, I think I'm just worrying now and that with time I'll get used to it and that this class will help a lot with my Spanish conversation skills.  ¡Todo está bien!

To counteract my complaining, the good news is that we went to the beach today with some people from our group!  It was wonderful.  The weather was nice and the water was warm!  We came home and swam in our pool afterwards.  That was just as wonderful.  

I missed that ball . . . obviously.
