Class this morning. We only have two days of class this week since we didn't have it yesterday, and Thursday and Friday we are going to Toledo with school. It feels so good! For my art class, I really am scared of her sometimes. She is strict, and always puts people on the spot to answer questions. If you don't know the answer, she does NOT like it! Oh well, I guess it really makes you pay attention! In my short story class my group had to finish a small presentation, which went fine. After school, it was raining again. What a surprise. We didn't end up eating until 3:15! That's really late for us, and I was so hungry! Carrie said to me right before lunch, "let's just say that we're having espinaca (spinach) because then whatever we get will be better than that." What do we get for lunch?...espinaca. I actually like a lot of the food we get from our Senora, but espinaca is one thing that I do not like. It is not good spinach. It looks like run over grass that is smothered in oil. Plus we got a plate of peppers again! We have refused to eat them so many times, I don't know how many more times we have to do that. I eat everything she has ever given me, but I will not eat a plate full of peppers! Oh well, we really do get a lot of good food, so I can't complain. At 5:30 Jess and I went to our service place again. I really didn't feel like going today, but God is good, and he had me in for a surprise. It was by far my best week there yet! The people that I normally don't like working with weren't there. There are some people that don't talk to me, and they don't want me to help, but they were gone today. There were other people there that were really nice, and they understand that I'm learning Spanish, so they help me out. Also, there is a lady that they normally assign me to work with, but I can't really understand her, and she is very hard of hearing, so you have to practically yell, which I don't want to do since I don't know if what I'm saying is correct. They told me to work with her again, and at first I was kind of afraid, but I started asking her questions, and it went great! She started telling me stories and I think she really just needed a friend to chat with! She invited me to walk her back to her room and look at her family pictures. She was very sweet, and I look forward to visiting her again next week. God is so good to me! After that was done I went back for dinner, and we had lasagna! I was so excited! Then I just did some homework and got ready for bed!
