School
well first of all its not called high school here is collage and you have to choose either computers or science. i chose science because its math and numbers and numbers are the same in spanish. anyways on the first day they made me and the 2 other afs people go up on stage and say our names. that was embaressing. but after that i made friends. school is very easy here, well it would be if you knew spanish. they kinda just sit around and talk and teachers teaches. No one raises their hand. There is a lot of coping what the teacher says in your notebook. Which is really hard for me becuase i cant spell in spanish and they go really fast. Oh and its really hot in the class room and the uniforms are annoying. Its nice to be involved in the community other then just the people my mom and sister knows. Everybody is super nice at the school. They all want to hear me read in spanish. A lot of boys randomly walk by and touch my hair haha. It kida fun to be the center of attention :)

Panama:)
I have arrived in panama! I have a mama and a hermana.(sister) They are super nice and dont speak english at all. It has been hard to communicate but i understand them. It is hard for me to answer or ask a question. they have a lot of family all over the town. my mama pretty much knows everyone. i have learned that when you walk into a room you say buenas. there is no hot water anywhere. so my showers consist of turning the water on jumping into the water then turning off the water then using soap then turning back on the water. they take 2 showers a day but only wash their hair once every 2 days. becuase the water is cold. I have no concept of time here. and either does anyone else. they show up when they want. the house is small. its all open and the bugs just come in and out. it has been very hard for me to sleep. at 4 am the roosters are soo loud and they dont stop tell about 7. im guessing i will get use to it. i only use bug stray at night in my room. it has worked so far. I am obsessed with the fireflys here !!!! they are so pretty and they sound awesome!!! the weather is nice. i dont mind the humidity. and wearing pants is fine because every place turns the ac on full blast! i am going to school monday so i will blog about that later ! as they say in panama CIAO :)
