Today should have been a super exciting day because I should have had my first class, but it was not.  While reading the textbook during our first period, Neena and I heard quite the commotion outside so we went out to investigate.  They were having an assembly and the senior class got to be showoffs.  They had vuvuzelas, air horns, fancied up pineapples, and a donkey.  I did get to pet and take a picture of the donkey, because where else would have a donkey at an assembly.  If you want proof, I have a picture on facebook.  One of the teachers told me “Welcome to Latin America!”  I should have had my first class at 11:00, so I was outside the door helping greet students.  All of a sudden, one of the Spanish teachers walked into our room and started teaching.  Apparently, somebody done messed up the scheduling and there was much confusion.  Oh well.  I spent most of the rest of the day reading the textbook, and there was a fair amount of boredom.  Luckily nothing that I read about was completely foreign to me.  When I got home, there were people working on the concrete.  Since I’m related to my mom, I more or less hid in my room and watched Netflix.  At dinner we had chicken soup.  It was good for the soul.  Afterwards, Lilliana sat and chatted with us for a while.  She talks to us at the perfect level of understanding and pushing the envelope.  Overall, it was a low-key day.
