Cuaresma begins

So yesterday kicked off the Lenten season, also known as Cuaresma in Spanish. I have decided that a my Lenten sacrifice I will not be speaking English, except with my family because they do not know Spanish. This is quite a challenge since my firends here are from the U.S. and we usually speak English. I did good job yesterday so I hope that I can continue with it.

There is not much else that is exciting. I have been doing a lot of work for my classes. I have a lot of reading espcially for my Economics class. I have started to put together a dictionary of important economic terms in Spanish. For example GDP, Gross Domestic Product is PIB in Spanish, Producto Interior Bruto. Also I cannot believe that I have been here for over a month already. Time just flew by me. I am finishing the third week of class out of 12 weeks... Yeah 25% completed.
