Second week

       Well, I'm back!!!  I suppose it's almost a good thing I haven't been writing so often, because it means I am busy! 
       I started work a week ago in the CCPA in San Lorenzo.  I am in the library there which is very small.  Its pretty quiet and there isn't a lot of activity.  I really love the people that I work with though!  To be honest, it can get pretty boring there because I don't do anything.  No one there really does anything though, so I guess I'm not the only one. 
       This whole weird thing happened with my lunch there.  So first, numerous people told me that I would eat lunch there everyday, like the rest of the staff and volunteers.  So, naturally, on my first day, I ate lunch there with everyone that was prepared by the lady in the cafeteria.  Later in the afternoon, I got a call from my liaison (who is younger than me) saying I couldn't eat lunch there anymore......why? I have no idea.  So now, I go to work at 1, after I've had lunch at home.  The only problem is that my mom prepares lunch for me in between 10:30 and 11 am.  So then I'm at work from 1-5 with no food.  Today when I got home I ate 4 or 5 empanadas....I can't remember, but I was so hungry.  So basically, work is a little screwed up and disorganized, but I hope it will get better.  I sat in and participated in an English class today, which was fun.  I hope I get to do more things like that. 
       I have gone to work in central (in Asuncion) twice now in the past week.  Also I don't do anything there but it's alright.  I went to a science fair on Saturday in Asuncion and it was pretty cool!  Taking the bus to Asuncion in the morning is just about the worst thing that happens here.  The first time I went I had to wake up at 5am in order to get to the bus on time.  We were supposed to leave the house at 6, but my brother claims his alarm didn't go off (even though I heard it) and he over slept, so we went a little bit later.  Weird things happen on the bus too.  On Saturday, two guys got on the bus with a radio and started rapping!  Of course they had to rap about me.....I heard "rubia" (blonde)  and I knew exactly who they were talking about.  They rapped about blonde, beautiful something something and I like her eyes.  Oh I live for that kind of stuff. 
       One of the things I don't like so far is the attention I get.  For instance, I was sitting on the bus with the window open and some men started saying "hello, how are you" and laughing and stuff.  I hate that.  Today I was walking home by myself and there were these two boys that were saying first in Spanish. .....beautiful, and then in English.....hi beautiful, how are you,  what's your name?  Ughhhhh I hate it. 
       Hmmmmm what else?  I've been hanging out with my friend Ferre from Belgium and I'm really enjoying his company.  Plus, his 5 year old brother is adorable and loves me!  It'll be nice to make some friends in San Lorenzo, but for now I'm happy with my friends in Luque.  Only a short drive away! 
       I take the bus by myself tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous, but I know the way to work now and I know I'll be fine. 
       The weather here is like Cleveland.....BIPOLAR.  Two days ago it was incredibly hot, and these past 2 days have been freezingggg.  I guess I came to the right place!  And speaking of coming to the right place.....on Sunday I met 2 people with the same thumbs as me....WHAT?! Two people in one day?  That's unheard of!!!
       Sooooo, I guess that's all for now!  Check in later for more!  Chau!
