Classes started yesterday and it's kind of a struggle for me to get back into things. I'm in the less advanced of the two groups that they divided us into for classes, but the annoying thing is that I'm better than everyone else at Spanish as a result of talking with native speakers constantly. So... I'm trying to figure out whether I should switch or not.
Lately, I've gotten more friendly with my host family. They are great! One of my host "brothers", Carlos, helped me hook up ethernet to my room. Also, I'm very spoiled as far as ammenities goes. For breakfast, first comes juice (sometimes freshly squeezed), coffee and water, followed by a fruit and yogurt plate, followed by a "main" dish (usually eggs or waffles). For lunch, there are also 3 courses. For dinner... well, they don't really eat dinner. I usually eat the other half of my lunch for dinner since the lunch is so huge. Also, a maid comes in every day and tidies up my room and makes my bed.
Last night, me and Amanda P (another student who lives very close) went to salsa classes. It was fun, but embarrassing that my hands were really clammy. We've decided to register and go to all the classes, even though they are 4 times a week, which seems like a lot to me. Tonight, more girls from my class have decided to come along with us.

M and I have been enjoying your posts. That dog is a FREAK! But since I've used up a bit more history than many of your readers I have a couple questions about a couple of your references. What does Leaving the Duece mean? I think it might have something to do with AA but not sure. Second, what's a hapa?
Looking forward to next post! Be well, Amanda.
Con mucho cariño,

Hehe, he is quite a character.
The Deuce is Ann Arbor (A2 = Ace Duece, or simply, The Deuce).
Hapa is a nice way (and a hawaiian way) to say half Asian.
