Day 2 of School

Second day of school was not so bad. I made more friends and talked to people in each class. I discovered my talking is probably better than my understanding of people talking. I am almost never scared to talk, for if I mess up we all laugh about it and its not a big deal. Sonia and my host mom have been extremely helpful when I don't know a word. I appreciate how patient they are with me. I REALLY struggle with names though. When I see the name written it is easy, but when the students tell me verbally I struggle. For example one boy's name is Angel but in Spain it is pronounced Ahn-Hell (I think). Students are in the same group of people all day, and mostly stay in the same class all day so it is kinda like a homeroom. Since I go to classes in different grades and groups I just go to Sonia's homeroom during break and when we finish lunch. Today in the homeroom I showed everyone how I can solve a rubik's cube. It started with a small group watching and by the end a huge group was gathered around, and they all were very impressed when I did it! I knew bringing my rubik's cube would come in handy! I also had my technical drawing class today, which I still am not sure what we do for technical drawing, but I think it is somewhat similar to what I did in my Honors Geometry class freshman year. In Honors Geometry we constructed different shapes using a compass and a ruler to create shapes with specific lengths and angles.
