Estoy aprendiendo

Today I got to school early to write a paper. (Yes we actually have to do work down here) But it was just about what we did on saturday at the ranch so it was quite easy. We had class and then afterwards I went for a run en el parque with my tutor Vicky and Jonathan. It was fun to talk to here while we ran because it was less awkward to have long pauses in my sentences while I searched for words- I could just blame it on being out of breath. :)
We took a bus back to our part of town but it took us 30 mins to find the bus stop (we thought we were getting the hang of this city but apparently not) and the locals are no help. You ask one and even though I know we are saying the right words they just look at us like we are speaking english or some other completely foreign language. Accents are frustrating! We finally found the bus and I took it to Il Gatto, a restuarant, where I met Claudia and Missy for dinner.
I was late by an hour meeting Vicky in el parque to run and then I was late by an hour to dinner! The busses and the culture here just make me late! O well I am enjoying the ride.
I know I have said this a lot, I just cannot get over the time difference in the culture here! We were finishing up dinner at about 12:20 and we saw multiple couples just sitting down to dinner- with kids! Babies and small children were all over the restaurant! When these babies sleep I do now know, but they are out and about at midnight.  After waiting 45 mins for a bus I finally made it home. Now I am going to start my homework. Yes, we actually have homework- a it takes forever because its in spanish and I dont speak spanish yet! But I'm learning. [estoy aprendiendo- my favorite phrase in spanish right now]
