August 28 and 29

Yes, I know that I missed a day. Yesterday was kinda crazy. Okay, really crazy. I got up and then we went to my father’s side of the family’s mother’s house (that was a lot of possessives) for lunch. I don’t remember what we had to eat actually. Weird. But I do remember that for desert the kids got BonBons. I’ve never had one before. They were so good! And then the kids sat around and played with the wrappers and tinfoil. Real sophisticated, I know. Haha Then I took a nap when I got home because I was up really late the night before. Coni did too. Thennnn… I got to meet my mom, dad, and little sister. They are so nice too. Chabelli is adorable. She’s so open and not shy around me which I love because I would feel awkward and even more homesick. But the whole family is great. They try really hard for me. And then family from my mother’s side of the family came over for dinner; which is at like 10 in the evening, by the way. That’s totally normal for them. So then I got to talk to Daniel on skype for a while while Juanmi and Coni were on “Face.” (facebook) We took a while to decide what we were going to wear that night because we needed to look good for the disco. Juanmi is so funny. He had me try on like 3 different outfits so “he can see which one looks good on me or if I look like crap.” Hahaha so, we got all ready to go and around 2 we left for Cuba Libre. We got in for free because Juan used to work there. It was really sweet. The club was so big! There was like 3 huge sections for dancing and bars on every wall. The bathrooms were gross. If you were lucky, you got to get some toilet paper from the community roll as you walked through the door. There were 3 stalls and the person behind you in line had to hold the door shut for you. There was no toilet seat. Just toilet bowl. I tried to avoid the bathroom as much as possible. Anyways, it seemed much more laid back than the club scene in America. Like, not as raunchy as the clubs they show on tv. But maybe that’s just tv. I wouldn’t know. At the end of the night, my feet killed me! Oh my did they hurt so bad. I wore heels like all the rest of the girls, but I don’t know how they do it. My feet still hurt now! So, we got in at like 6:30. Haha that concludes yesterday.
And for today, I wasn’t feeling good at all. I woke up and right off the bat I had bad cramps. I was so miserable all day. The family came over again to eat, but I could barely eat. I felt so bad. I went to my room and wanted my mom. I tried contacting some of bryson’s friends to tell him to get on skype. It worked and I got to talk to my family. I wish I could honestly say that it made me feel better, but it just made me more homesick. But then, I got to talk to my boyfriend for a good while and he actually did make me feel better. The cramps weren’t so bad. And I was able to go out and socialize. With chabelli at least. Then I started feeling bad again. Back to bed. I watched a movie on my laptop and that distracted me for a while. Then it was time to eat again, so I had a bit of rice and some meat. My family knew that I wasn’t feeling good so they recommended that I only eat that. My dad was trying to say something to me, but I couldn’t understand. It was so frustrating. I wanted to cry again. But I’m going to school tomorrow with my mom tomorrow.
I was nervous about school until I talked to ben on facebook. He said that it’s really easy. That makes me feel better. I hope that I will make friends to help me too. Also! Good news, I got to “talk” to mr. hall today. I miss him so much. I am going to get ready for bed now. Goodnight!
