Bible School So Far
Hi People,
I just got back from Family Night, where my group (which consists of 3 fellow lady students, Dora, our adorable, little, old, Spanish cook, who speaks nooo english, and myself), went bowling! Two other family groups joined us and my entire room ended up being there, so we obviously got some good ole "roommie" pictures taken. Dora's little niece (nieta) came with us and she is HILAAARIOUSSS. Her laugh is a little bit like my joyfully retarded laugh, but a little sqeakier and funnier. It kills me. She also speaks no English, so every time she'd bowl, I'd just say, "Moy biennn, Dana!" It was a good time.
Other events this week...
We had a Rio Vida beach soccer tournament! Because we only have 6 guys her and we only had 6 teams, each one got one guy student, then either one of the principle's kids or one of our speakers for the week. It was wayyyy fun and I scored our first goal! We had USA, Canada, Spain, Argentina, Bolivia and Germany playing qualifying games on Monday. (We were Spain) On Thursday, we had semi-finals and finals. We placed 3rd behind Canada 2nd and USA 1st! Not too bummed. Beach soccer is way fun and we didn't get tooo many injuries. Amy did end up in the hospital with a fractured arm on the first day, but other than that, it was bruised feet and sore everything.
That's all I got for now. Oh, one of our speakers this week sounded like an old British rockstar and it was awesome. Till the next time I feel like updating this... Adios.

A Day in the Life... at Rio Vida
Holaaa,
I'm currently sitting in the conference hall on Karianne's mac, listening to the Mountain live on the internet. They're playing Bloody Sunday by U2 and I couldn't be happier to hear it. So far, I haven't become tooo homesick. I think some computer time every other day, listening to the Mountain and talking to the parents every couple days is doin' me pretty good. We'll see how I feel in another month. A MONTH! I'm here for a whole 'nother month, almost THREE! I can't believe it. Mary and I love it here and... I haven't said anything to the family yet, Mama, but if there's any way we can stay here longer, we have to. If we can hook a job somewhere, WOOF it on an olive farm on Corfu or a sunny vineyard in Southern Italy, it's happening. Lecture's starting up. See you later.
