I had a great weekend. On Friday night, I called Amy, the Mexican girl that Becky introduced me to, who she is friends with. I really had fun with her on Tuesday and wanted to at least let her know that I was still interested in doing something if she wanted to later on. So, when I called she told me she had just been thinking about how she didn�t have my #, and that a friend, Monica, was coming over and they were going to rent a movie and eat ice cream and that if I was interested, I could come. I didn�t have anything else to do, and it seemed fun, so I said, "Sure! How do I get there?" Getting there- that�s always the issue here. I guess if I had actually taken the right bus, that would have been weird. I took the #4, which she told me, but naturally, there are 2 different #4s here and nobody has the insight to label them A and B. Anyhow, it didn�t have too far to go before it was done with it�s route, so I didn�t lose too much time. The right one was right there getting ready to go, and he didn�t charge me, either, so that was nice. I got on it and got to her house. I got there too late for the ice cream, but we did watch a movie. We watched that Disney cartoon movie, the one about the prince who got turned into a llama? If anyone knows the name of it, let me know because I don�t remember the Spanish name. It was kind of new, though. It was actually pretty good. I was under the impression that all the new Disney movies sucked, but that�s not true. It was witty and the storyline was cute. Also, it was in Spanish without subtitles and I understood really well. Children�s movies are a great learning tool.
Anyhow, it was only like 10:30, 11 when the movie ended, but we were all really tired and sleepy. I guess it was because there was a storm going on and the house was so comfortable. So, she asked if I wanted to spend the night and I really did. I didn�t feel like trying to get back home. So I spent the night and slept really good. I felt like I was in a real house! Like an American house!
The next day Amy asked me if I wanted to go with her to this education conference. Her whole family is teachers, including her (she is studying to teach) and she said that the conference was free, plus we got diplomas. I thought it would be cool to have a diploma showing that I participated in an education conference while I was here. The topic of the conference was teaching strategies for teaching English to Spanish-speaking students, AND it was all in English!! Also, not only were there diplomas, but the conference was in a really nice hotel and they gave free bags (big bags, too!), and pens, and notepads, and coffee and cookies! Hehe. ʹm being silly, now. I had a really good time, though, because it was free, and I SPOKE ENGLISH! Hehe. Also, afterwards, I went with Amy�s family to the mall and we ate out in Pizza Hut. This was around 2-3 p.m. When we got home, we all went back and took a really big nap! I slept for about 2 hours and then left for home. I really didn�t want to leave. Also, Amy�s mother seemd to like me. I helped her find some info on the Denver Public Schools. They are all moving to Denver in the summer, and Amy is so excited. She loves the US (she lived there for high school). Anyway, I really hope I get to go over there again before I leave.
Well, looks like I�m getting short on space. I suppose I will talk about Sunday tomorrow. Sunday was interesting, to say the least. Sunday also spilled over into this morning, too. I will stop teasing and just give info tomorrow! Bye!
