Hello all,
Homestays are great! My family is really nice and very hospitable which is definitely a part of the culture here. Turns out, my family is also hosting this Italian couple who are also in their 20s, just a little but older than me. Well, I've come to the conclusion that the Italian girl is pretty much a condescending bitch. She monopolizes conversations, pretends like she doesn't know what I'm saying, or just ignores me. However, her boyfriend is super nice. Thankfully, they're leaving on Sunday. Oh and in case you were wondering, they're here through a volunteer organizations that is studying farming in the area. This morning they left earlier than usual which gave me time with my family by myself, and it was awesome! I learned that my homestay "mom" looooves makeup! She went through all my makeup and was fascinated by my mascara. She has mascara, but she said the brush isn't big enough for her lashes lol. I told her that I would send her some makeup when I get back home. She also loved my stretchy nike leggings. By the way - these cropped athletic leggings and my chacos were probably the best investment I coulda made for this trip. So anyway, she works in the kitchen here at UGA, so I'm gonna stay later than the rest tonight and eat here then help her in the kitchen and walk back home with her :). I'm not sure what we have planned for the weekend, but I'll be at their house, so no internet. You can expect another post/facebooking on Monday :). Family - I'm gonna call yall tonight w/ my phone card. Last thing - I'm noticing that I can pretty much understand and comprehend everything that anyone says, but it's soooo hard to respond! It's like I know what I want to say but can't get my mind to produce it in Spanish quickly enough. Hopefully that will improve. Anywho - to all my friends who are partying it up at Athfest, do a flabongo for mee!! Later gators.
