So we did not get to have a thanksgiving and that totally was a bummer, but I mean t's not a tradition here so I couldn't really expect that. However, my mom also reminded me that I will get to experience other holidays like Carnival. So now I am also trying to keep myself positive about that. However, in the past week other than no Thanksgiving, not much has happened.
There have been some ups and downs this week. For example, some people here are just so ignorant. They don't seem to realize they are just rich kids here. They dont have friends in other classes, only kids from like Liceo and Egugenio. It makes me mad when they say that Americans think they are better then them, when most people in my school think they are so much better than half the people in this town. I mean sometimes we can't even go places because it's filled with "chulos" or people who dont have a ton of money. To some extent okay I understand, but they make it so obvious and it has really started to bother me. I do not like that it's all about social ranking here. Another reason why I love the USA, many classes can intertwine and you can hang out wiht people from many different schools.
This past weekend we also went to Erika's house because Thanksgiving day was her birthday. It was nce to have everyone together. Although I am usually much happier just hanging out with Vale, Erika, Ana and Pedro. They are so much fun and really are such a amazing people with great hearts. I honestly am so happy and blessed to have gotten the chance to know them. That's also why this Thursday only they will come to my house to celebrate Vale's birthday. Another funny thing, all four of our birthday's are within 3 weeks of one another. Nice to be able to celebrate them all together.
I almost forgot. This week in school we started sports. Everyone has to play, because they are like intermurals. The school basketball team has not yet started. Each day we play a game. My team is doing really well and I am having a lot of fun. It's nice to remember why I love basketball so much. Another thing about school is that we now have a new American. She was born in the USA, but her Mom is from here. She is going to school with us for 3 months. She just arrived today so I hope she likes our school and fits in. She seems like a really great girl and I'm sure she will have a very good time.
Christmas is almost here and I am feeling very sad lately. I miss not being home with my family making hot chocolate and watching the 25 days of Christmas on ABCfamily. I miss getting our tree and setting it up. Oh and I especially miss Dunkie's gingerbread donuts, mmmmm! All I really want for Christmas from my parents is hand written letters. I think that should get me through the holidays okay. It will still be hard, but I am hanging in there. I can onlyremember that I will have many more christmases to follow.
I am also bummed because someone took $30 from my wallet. I know it wasn't our maid, she is always soo good. I leave money in my pockets and she puts it on my nightstand or even in my wallet for me. We have had a few people working in the house lately and it's a possability they went in my room while I was at school, it's just a really big bummer because that was my money for the month. I don't know lately a lot has been going wrong.
