oh so cool

Okay, so I am not going to lie...I have been a little disappointed by the lack of people's interest in my blonde hair. I came here, fully ready to stick out like a sour thumb, even among the tourists. Yet, the people could care less that I am here. Well, except my two little Spanish brothers...Louis and Jacob. Whenever they have friends over they bring them up to me room, open my door and point at me (Like some kind of circus freak or zoo animal). Sometimes they laugh, but they can stand there and point for a while. These people have stamina, I'm telling you.

The family I am living with, really is amazing. I talk to the other students from all over and each one of them has at least one complaint with their families. I have none. They are so kind, treat me like I belong. They feed me plenty, allow me to do whatever, sleep til whenever and go to bed whenever. They told me that I am their familiy while I am here...but they aren't my parents. So, that works for me. See, my problem is that they live so far away from everything. I can't hang out with my friends at night because I am not even close to them. If this family lived near the school, everything would be perfect. Well, and if I had an extra $2,000.00. Then it would be. See, I don't ask for much. $2,000.00 isn't a huge amount.

I thought I would explain a favorite past time of mine. As I am walking down the streets I watch the Spaniards and I figure out who their American counterpart is. Tonight I was riding the bus and found my 6th grade teacher, Miss Tomlinson, the spanish version. There are others too, but I can't remember. I need to write these down. It would be sweet if I could get pictures too, oh to be so bold. Well, that's all for me right now. I think I will write again later.
