It was so wonderful to return to Mama Tica last night. Before we even sat our bags down, we were both in her arms! And Molly, the poodle, was super excited to see us too. Molly is such a Mama's girl and always follows Mama Tica everywhere, but interestingly enough, Molly jumped onto the bottom of my bed last night and eventually weasled her way up to my pillow. She stayed with me for quite some time until her Mama called her to go to sleep.
Hoy empieza mi tiempo de estudiar sin Flagler. Tuve que decir adios al grupo de Flagler anoche en la esquina de la calle despues de regresar de Samara. (Today begins my time to study without Flagler. I had to say goodbye to everyone last night in the street corner after we got back from Samara.) It was somewhat strange being at Intercultura without Flagler people. Several people asked me where everyone else was. "In the United States." My professor from advanced 2, which I took the first week, seemed surprised to see me this morning, thinking that we had all left.
I'm in a class with two other girls who have been studying at Intercultura for months. One girl was supposed to begin grad school last September but deffered and came to Intercultura. She started with a host family, but after deciding to stay, she found a furnished apartment to live in. The other girl took a year off of college to "figure out what she wanted to study." She came to Intercultura for 4 months last year and is back again. (So, Mom and Dad, my little two week extension could have been a lot worse!)
In other news: I moved into my new room today. I'm still at the same house with my wonderful Mama Tica, thank goodness, but I no longer have a roomie. So I'm now in a room with only one bed, instead of two. Soy sola. I like it. And I have a desk in this room, so maybe I will be a bit quicker doing my hw since I had been completing my hw on my bed and this almost always turned into a nap for me. I think a change in rooms is good, so I won't be looking at the empty bed in the other room feeling like something is missing.
It's also nice that I am only taking Intercultura classes, not Intercultura and Flagler classes. This makes for a much easier day. Class from 8:30 to 12:30 and then I'm free to do whatever I please.
