Finally an Update :)


Sorry everyone for stopping posting to my blog! The laptop at my home here stopped working and for some reason the computers at the library allow access to everything BUT my blog. Also, I´ve had a zillion and one tests and been super busy studying for them. Excuses excuses :).


There is good news though, as of right now I´m going to pass ALL of my courses! Most of the kids fluent in spanish don´t even hope for that. In my opinion its proof that studying works no matter what langauge you do it in :). Speaking of langauges I´ve progressed by leaps and bounds. Now (whenever i´m not exhausted...) I can understand whats being said to me and respond without having to think, and at about the same speed as a conversation in english.


Also, when I go out with friends now I understand enough to participate in the verabl games and messing around, even at the rediculously fast speed groups of teenagers talk (I never knew what the adults were talking about, now I defintiely do, I swear teenagers must talk about twice as fast as the normal adult!). Wow this is defintiely strange, for a long time I thougt tehre weren´t tourists here. About a minute ago a whole SWARM of them entered the library and started taking pictures, some of which were of all of us on the computers. I really wish I had a photo of that! One second I look over and there were five or six cameras pointed at me, Paparazi! Ok now everything is back to normal :).


For January 10th (or someday like that, i´m not sure exactly) I have to give a presentation in spanish about my life in the US. If anyone has any cool pics of oly, or something US or Oly like PLEASE send them to me! Also, parents, please look though our photos and find some good ones of all of us :). I´m not sure what else to post right now, and I have to go eat lunch and study (chemistry exam on friday, and technical drawing exam on tangents on monday!),


Take care everyone,Molly

Hi Molly,
I just looked at your blog.
Do you still pix for your Jan 10 talk?
My wife Dixie has started a business called OlyWAlks and took a bunch of pix of Olympia for it, so could probably send you some.

I enjoyed pix of you exchanging Rotary banner.

Do you know emails or blogs of our other two outbound students?
