Adios

Dear Avid Followers,

I will be moving host families on sunday and will be closer to San Pedro. This is both good and bad. I am excited for a change but at the same time nervous. Also i will need to make new friends outside of school again. The biggest thing i am concerned about is how far I will be from town and how easily or not I will be able to access it. Also there is the pressing concern of how far from the beach I am ;)

Love,
CJ

Gibraltar

Today i went to Gibraltar with some other Exchange students. I was spending some quality time with this monkey but I guess he wasnt to happy about it.

Good day overall.

Also thanksgiving was a nice meal that an Exchange student made for all of us. It was impressive, she made turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pies, and all kinds of food. We spoke mostly english which was nice and made things seem a little more like home. Keystone next year?

Well...

A year is just too long. I am getting better at Spanish everyday and things are easier when I can understand more. A year though is too long to be away from home. I really dont have a chance at passing some of these classes and I dont want to get ¨F´s¨on my transcript. I also dont want to have to repeat a year or take 15 classes as a senior. The classes here are meant to be tough for kids who live here, for me they are ridiculous and impossible. I am having a rough time now, just with the desire to be back on Holy Hill with the crew and the comfortableness.
