I hope everyone is havening a good evening. I just got out of the shower. It was pretty hot today and I wanted to cool down before bed time. But, all in all today was a good day.
The program I am with does a community service project with one of the local orphanages. We raise money, donate toys, and-best of all-we get to go play with the kids once a week. The plan was to go today after school. I was really excited, but something came up. Kayla and I got a new roommate! Her name is Emily and she was having some issues with her original host family and roommates. So after school Kayla and I took a taxi to her house and helped her move into ours.
After a delicious ice cream welcome (we know how to do it around here) the three of us went for a walk in the neighborhood. We ended up at Kevin and Brian's house. They only live about five blocks away and are on our bus (and Brian is in my guitar class). We hung out for quite a while. It was a good time. We ended up watching the first half of the Laker's game because they are basically obsessed.
Eventually we did have to leave though, because our senora had dinner waiting. We ate fresh tamales that she bought from some nuns. They were really delicious. They reminded me of the cornbread my mom makes, and made me miss home.
But, like I said it was an overall good night. I've been trying to enjoy my lack of homework the best I can because I know I'm going to get slammed in the next couple of days. I think I'm going to take some time for myself and do a little recreational reading.
Love,
Katlynn
