Package AGAIN! The park, and test numero uno

I am officially the coolest person on the program. Why? BECAUSE I GET MAIL AND PACKAGES!

YOU HAVE MADE ME THE COOLEST PERSON EVER. There is no way I could have done this on my own. Thank you.

I got a package from gammy last week, a card yesterday, and another package today. SO EXCITED.

everyone here is jealous. I am so happy to have a giant family who loves me. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME AND SENDING ME THINGS!

In other news, I opened up the package to find a few things of instant oatmeal AND I ATE IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Pretty sure the cafeteria guys think I'm crazy for wanting a mug of hot water, but I was PSYCHED. way cool.

I'm off to lay out in the park with my friends and buy some french bread and brie cheese and have a picnic. Its become my daily routine.

School, walk home, lunch, grab my sheet and homework or my journal, and meet Jenny and Steph in the park around 4. We lay there chatting and get stared at by the few people in the park, and when 5 or so rolls around children and grandparents and people galore come out of the woodworks to play in the park. We get stared at even more.

Yesterday we watched some old men make a game out of hitting bottles and cans with their canes. We attempt to avoid dog poop when we put our blankets down (usually, this is successful), but yesterday the CUTEST puppy came running up to us. Here, they have really furry long haired dogs and I just dont find them attractive. I like the tiny dogs and the big dogs, but the really dirty messy long haired ones SMELL. ew.

Got around average on my grammar test, we got it back today. Not going to attempt to explain the grading system here to you all, its impossible. BUT I talked with the teacher and I completely messed up one section because I am retarded, and the other were just mistakes. There were quite a few times I had the correct answer and crossed it out for a wrong answer. She says I'm really good with participation and the homework, I just have to have some more faith in myself when it comes to the tests and speaking in class. However, she said I've also become better at speaking spanish, which is nice to hear.
