All the way from Guadalajara!!!

Hi friends!!! First time writing on this, I'm excited!

So let me blog about this "study abroad" thing for a bit :) Sarah and I got here this past Wednesday afternoon. It was a stressful and anxious process of arriving because of the language difference. From the minute Sar and I checked in, we knew we were done speaking English other than to each other. Wow. My time here has been very interesting to say the least ;) haha.

The food issue is getting better. We have managed to figure out that after 3 in the afternoon, we will not eat again until breakfast the next morning. So being that we only get breakfast at 8:30 and a slightly larger lunch around 3, we are very hungry again around 7 or so. Sar and I have been laying out for an hour or so each day after school, have lunch and then we go for about an hour walk every day.

Yesterday we started school, our class is broken up with the first hr and 40 min with grammar and then we have a 20 min break, get a new professor and then she teaches our conversation class. The class has about 15 students. The grammar part is mostly all review but still a little complicated for us.. And the conversation part is pretty rough, very hard and difficult. It's only day 2 though so were hopin it gets a little better ;)

Also, it is so hot here. 90s during the day, 80s at night. It's muggy hot though not like Azusa hot ahh!

Sarah and I are still trying to figure out how to study (we have a lot to study already) and how to tour everywhere, relax and have fun all at the same time. haha been a little hard...

Kinda one of Sarah's guy friends is here too, Adam. The three of us are going to Puerto Vallarta this weekend!!! We are super excited. We have to take the bus all the way there, about a 4 hr ride. We will get there Friday early night and hangout at the beach all day Saturday, have a margarita, each tacos hmm what could be better since we've been here! Then Sunday we'll come back! Still trying to figure out where were going to stay for the 2 nights though. So excited :)

I'm going to study some flashcards now :/ bummerrrr.

Love you all mucho!!!
