Schooled

Well, it turns out pottery isn't my thing either. I don't understand how I'm so bad at things that are cool. I guess I'm pretty average in everything I do. Thanks Mom and Dad for making me try everything and never getting good at anything. So the pottery place was cool. It was like watching a magic show watching Paco Tito make his pottery. Then when we got the chance to do it everyone seemed to just pick it up like it was easy or something. I can assure you, it's not. There's no diligent way to coordinate how fast you spin the wheel thing with the foot pedal, add water, touch the clay so it molds how you want to and think all at the same time. There's just not.

Got a little dirty...

So last night I didn't do anything because I had alot of homework and I need to be getting ample sleep. Amanda was over for a while and we hung out with my brother. Then today I went to class, then ate lunch, had a quick siesta and then went to my brother's school where he teaches with him. I've never been so popular in my life. I felt bad because those kids spoke way too fast for me to understand them, but they let me play (um, more like schooled me in) soccer and basketball. Even the kids that were "bad" at futbol were better than the good kids in the US. It was funny because there's also the same kids in the class. You know, the bigger red-neck looking kid who's the bully, the skinny little loner, etc. Then they had a fiesta and I've never seen children eat up so much food so quickly. They were super cute and of course I forgot my camera.

Now, we are waiting for Oscar to come get us so we can go bowling. Yes, bowling. Not thinking that they had it here I said something about it. Turns out they do. Soooo, now we're going. My biggest concern is how I'm going to get shoes. Because the sizes are different here and I have absolutely NO idea what size shoe I wear here.

Anyways, sorry my life is dulling down some. I think I'm just getting used to things and not everything is as exciting anymore so I don't remember it. And for that, I apologize.
