Sólo Una Broma

Friday: we clean. EVERY friday, everyone in the dorm cleans, sweeps and mops their rooms. Its nice actually and because its so frequent there really isn't much to do.
Saturday: Everyone goes to church....except me. I feel a little guilty admiting this, but i cant sit still that long and i don't understand anything they are talking about so i decided i was exempt from going to church. So i get to sleep in until lunch at 12.15. Its great :)
Sunday: Do all the homework i have been avoiding for my three day weekend.
      Now this weekend i did all those things and some! Yesterday Callie and i went with her roommates and a bunch of friends out to what they said was "golf" but what they really meant was we had a Frisbee and terere and we sat on the golf course all day and hung out while drinking about a gallon of terere. In case anyone is still confused about what terere is, there is always Google. Anyways, it was really fun, they are all really nice and patient with mine and Callie's crappy Spanish.
But here are a few pictures i pirated from Callie's facebook.

Callie is the far left, and Mel her roommate is the center. Love these ladies!

The two insane looking guys are Tato (on the couch) and Niko.

And terere was had by all

     The picture of all of us on the couch was last night for Leila's birthday. It was really fun, we watched a movie, ate some kind of amazing cake/pudding/cookie thing, talked, got smacked in the face by pillows, you know the usual. These people are so much fun to be with and they are so good about (nicely) correcting our Spanish, which is really helpful. We say something and they correct us then give us the chance to say it correctly. Its like they all took a class in How to Teach Americans to Speak Castellano.

   My Life-Line here has become the daily (we aim for daily) runs with Callie. There is a 4k dirt track we run and then a little work out area with bars and things for arms and abbs workouts. Not only is it great exercise and an amazing de-stresser its our time to talk or vent about life, school, and everything else. Because i didn't bring an alarm clock Callie just sneaks in my room in the mornings and wakes me up for our runs. I love it, nothing better than starting the day off with a jog and a friend in the fresh air. Only hiccup is there is old guy who has taken an interest to me and Callie and we don't understand him but he is a little creepy. I don't think he means to be, but he is. He too is often out for a run when we go, so that's interesting.  But the town is pretty safe so no one panic. :)

Oh and the title means its only a joke, which is something i say often.
