update

I’m starting to really get accustomed to Panama. My spanish is coming slowly. I don’t speak it too much in school because so many people speak english but it is coming. I’ve started to use the subjuntive a lot. I still make 10293480239840293 mistakes daily, but I think it’s exciting that I’m starting to speak in the subjunctive without thinking too hard. I still need to ask people to speak slowly, but now they can speak to me at a slow but steady pase, instead of word by word snail pase.

Last week there was a thing called Expo at my school. Everyone had been preparing for a really long time. I was so

impressed by what everyone did. The people in the buisness classes built little stands and sold all kinds of different things. Silly bands, jewlery, candy, hamburgers, soda, nachos, smoothies and ice cream are just a few of the things that were sold. They actually built these like almost professional looking stands and a bunch of schools came and bought stuff. There was an english science room (which I mostly hung out in) that had all these posters and projects on the enviornment and global warming and a bunch of other rooms with other projects. People were dressed up in costumes and there was face painting and everyone seemed to have worked and worked and worked too pull this huge activity off. It lasted all week, so I didn’t h

ave classes and just came and mostly hung out (lucky me).

It was my dads birthday last sunday so we had a big party for him. My host mom cooked all kinds of AMAZING foods and I had the most delicious cake I’ve ever tasted in my life.
