Since my last post not much has happened. Oh, wait - I started school... is that big? Yep - I began school a little over 2 weeks ago at Colegio Julio Correa. It is only about 10 minutes walking from my house and it is a good school. The teachers speak to me (very slowly) and so do the students. They love to help me improve my spanish and I have even been able to help them in English class. I have been taking rapid notes as the teachers here don't write anything on the board - what they do is stand at the front and read from a text book and you are excepted to follow along. It can be quite frustrating but my sister and he friends help me a lot.
I have also signed up for a ballet class. So I go there everyday for an hour and two hours on Friday. It has been a great experience going and meeting new Paraguayan people. I am a little behind as they have all been studying it for years, but I think I will catch up in no time.
Yesterday the AFS Luque people got together and we all went up to a city called Atrya. It is a Guarani word. Basically it is about and hour and a half away from my home. It was so beautiful there and we got to climb up a mountain area and there was a view that was just magnificent.
Not much else has happened. I am getting even more settled in my life here. School, dance class, and homework are taking up all my time.
I hope this letter finds you all well! I would love to hear from you!
Peace and Love
Vivian
