Realizing im alone

When you are all alone you have a lot of time to think about the good and bad. I have come to realize many things and one of them being that I am so blessed. I always thought to be honest that I needed more of this or more of that but when i came here and took a step backwards i realized i have more then i need. for example my family here does not have a dishwasher, dryer, a heater etc... But the thing is they dont even realize they need it. which is so cool to see because whear i come from we are all conssumed with needing more of everything. I have also realized the meaning of the word ¨Home" you know the saying home is whear the heart is well thats exactly it. I now have 2 homes one here in argentina with my family and my other in bend. But i am so lucky to get to have 2 loving familys.

Now the update on my life here.

So last Thursday was my first day of school and i couldent understand one thing, literally. All of the teachers would talk really fast and everyone would ask me tons of questions that i got overwhelmed and a massive headache. oh and to top it off the principal introduced me in front of the whole school and they asked me to talk in spanish and i forgot everything i learned haha it was pretty bad. I so far have gone to the boliche(a club) twice and they are crazy fun. It is really hot and smoky in them and everyone is drinking, im sure you get the point.You go to them at 3 in the morning and leave them at 7 in the morning. I also have hungout with my friend johanna another exchange student from Iceland. She has introduced me to her friends which is nice. I love it here and everyone is so friendly. It gets very hot during the day but i could not tell you the actual number because its different. So we go swimming alot or drink cold mate which is amazingly good haha. The food here is way better then anything in the US IN N OUT being the only exception. Every day and Every meal accept breakfast we have carne or meat. Also every sunday for lunch we go to family friends houses and pass time or eat lunch with them. But on wed i am going to Santa Fe a really big city to visit my brother who goes to college there. He left on monday for school. But i am pretty excited to see a different city. Also last friday i had a AFS family dinner to welcome all the new people. It is hard to remember everything i do but that is the big stuff.  That is it for now. Miss you all more then you know. I think about everyone everyday.
