does anyone else really love that ti feat rhianna song?

Got pathetically lost on my way to the Language School today, what else is new. They have us talk to the Spaniards about the most random subjects- and today the subject was healthcare. Well I guess that is not too random but the beginning of class was focused on hitch-hiking (definitely an experience! I recommend you try.) But this one guy in my small group was so enthusiastic and talkative and he was saying how frustrated he is about the economy. He was saying how he would vote for Obama and how it is not fair that only Americans get to elect someone that controls the world economy- that everyone in the world should have some say. Touche.

A few of my friends have parents, boyfriends and friends here this week. It is awesome to be able to talk about this city like it is my own. I cannot wait for my fam to come also-- and so happy that Dad will be able to mingle with the natives and put his lengua Castellana to good use. My host family is so excited to meet them, it´s awesome. My host sibs Laura and Alvaro got a huge kick out of the virtual tour of 2424 Summerlake via Skype, thanks to Mama and Papa Peralta.

rhianna and TI song = "live your life"
kathleen LOVES it mostly because of the numa-numa-esque beginning. i like it too.
also, the football team has a new cheer this season that goes "crank me up!" complete with fist pumping. it is based off a song of the same name (warning - LOTS of expletives) but the song is really good too. and im digging akon's Frozen.
check them out.

misssssyouuu!
