the begging mexico blog

* There is so much to say and I wont say it all. But at least I started blogging... which is always that hardest thing to do!
Well, as I sit here in my bed writing I hear many things going on around me. First, I here my lovely and kind hearted senora clanking the dishes as she washes, a bus and a few cars, and my dear and beloved scorpions. I would say that there is one of these lovely bugs maybe three to four feet away from my bed. I could go on a hunt for him, but I never find the little guys. I have learn to just except that there are scorpions around me. I can only hear them but I have never see one, so I am not going to worry. I call them the little buggers. Obviously because he is a bug and second because those little guy keep me up at night, sometimes the little bugger can even wake me up at night! I just pray every night that they just wont come into my precious bed. I am not scared of them because of there bug-ish ways, but more because I just don't want to get stung! Ouch!
Anyway, enough about scorpions. Well, I am in Mexico. I have just completed my first week, and I would say that it went very well. I enjoy my family, a mom and her daughter (one year younger than me). I am finding that they enjoy me as well, which is a great blessing! There are times though when it is hard communicating with them, but I just know it that will happen and I am just going to have to accept it.
My days consists of waking up at six or six thirty, which here it seems very early but back home this is more like sleeping in for me. I will eat breakfast, head out the door, take a bus, attend classes until 12 or 1 central time. Then I will hang out with others, study, get online for a short time. Then I will head over to my house and eat with mi "hermana". I enjoy this time because it gives me an opportunity to speak and practice speaking with out the pressure of classes or other people in the room. But now, there is another student from Leon, the next city over, living in the house with us. At first she startled me when I saw her eating at the table. She is nice, but I am pretty sad that it isn't just me and the senora with her daughter. Oh well, what can you do!?
I love being here… I will write more latter. This blog was not very good! I blame it on the fact that it is my first one. And there is just so much to write and I don't know what to say, so I just rambled a bit… I will write more information later!!!
