Today my host family headed off to Miami to visit family there over Pesah, so I moved to Moni's best friend's house. The family is really nice, they have three kids but only one is here right now. She is nine years old and best friends with Uri, but is a little annoying. Very nice though. They also have two boys, but they aren't here right now. The mom, Mariela, is super welcoming and told me to make myself at home, just as if I was at Moni's house. I feel perfectly comfortable here, not awkward at all. I will be staying here for the week, and then they are flying to Buenos Aires to visit family (they're Jewish too) and so I'll move to another family for that week. The mom of the next family I'm going to is the president of AFS here so I've met her before, and she's nice but not as warm as Mariela. Now that Yael is gone, school is a little harder because I don't have someone explaining things to me or to go to for help with the homework. But the girls at school are very helpful so I can ask them to explain things to me. I feel like I'm getting better at Spanish, I understand more already and can speak a little better, but I'm not so good that I understand most of what the teachers say in class. Especially my physics teacher, who talks in a monotone and mumbles. But I think I'm going to get a Spanish tutor to help me out, so hopefully I will get a lot better. We went to another AFS reunion thing on Saturday and pretty much all the exchange students who have been here for around seven months speak really good Spanish (or Castellano) so I'm hoping I will be at that level too when I leave :)
