Some highlights!

Highlights from the week:
My students now understand the word complaining and that I don't like it. I am my mother's daughter.
I went to spinning again last night and was the only student so there was a lot of yelling, "dale Hannah Montana, dale, va va va, eso es" (Give it Hannah Montana, give it, go, go, go, that's it). I thought I was going to die, but alas, here I am to tell the tale and now Alex and I are great friends. He has some pretty elaborate plans for my life, so it should be an interesting friendship. He also told me that I am the only student that understands the lyrics to the songs he chooses so he wants me to translate. That seems to be the thing people want from me here, translation of songs and anything from the US that I may have.
The season is changing and Angol is absolutely gorgeous.
Cata (my ten year old host sister) and I have been creating smoothies and using their juicer like it is our job. We have created some delicious creations.
I threw a Cinco de Mayo party for my host family. They love Mexican food like I do. It's a perfect relationship.
I taught the electric slide to my students yesterday and that was an absolute hit. They love dancing and I love doing anything that keeps their attention.
Happy Graduation to Zach, Samantha, and all of the class of 2010, way to go! I will be celebrating your accomplishment tomorrow by baking lots of cakes, going to an asado (barbecue) and dancing.
