It´s soooooo hot! I´m melting. I don´t even spent time in my apartment much because it never cools down. It´s a constant 82 degrees in there. Matt was here for one night over the weekend and then went straight back to work. It´s such a tease to spent time with him and then know I probably won´t get to see him again for two weeks. I´ve just been going to class, and spenting time at the school because they have air conditioning. Trying to get my cell phone sorted ans it just seems to be eating away at my money. I only really use it to call Matt, but it turns out I was paying 35cents a min. So I went to the shop and got it sorted, so now I think I´m only paying 35cents for 60minutes! Dispite getting mayor (old) confused with major (better) -- which I corrected myself on, I wanted the better plan, not the older one -- not not being able to remember the verb for to change (cambiar) I held the whole conversation in Spanish....full sentences and all! Geez...I´m really starting to feel like I´m five years old...stringing sentences together and having to think about which word is my subject and verb. It´s like being in kindergarten again...excpet I´m 5´5" and I don´t have my mom make me a lunch.
I´ve been spending a lot of time walking around town at night. I would go out with people, but no one seems to want to be my friend -- pathetic I know. I´ve totally put it out there..."If you all want we can hang at my place..I have tele and a whole piso to myself." I´ve even tried the, "Oh you should ring me later...do you have my number?" and I actually had one girl say no and instead wrote down another girls number instead of mine. Now ten years ago I would have been really offended and would have run home to mommy crying "why am I such a dork??" Truth be told...I´m still a dork, but I love that about me. I think this whole situation just goes to show how people are stuck in high school. Granite most of these kids are younger then me and have just graduated high school, so I think that explains a lot. Not to mention that I´m really outspoken in class and I think that that turns a lot of people off, but it´s not my problem if they don´t like me--I didn´t do anyting wrong. I´m just having a hard time relating to people here. I don´t feel like I´m a stranger or that I don´t belong, I just feel like a loner. Right now my best friends are my camera and mobile. Even my intercambio blew me off. Sorry I can´t make it...let´s reschedule....then nothing. Just goes to show that you can never count on anyone except yourself.
That´s about it. I know the last part sounds a bit depressing, but I´m fine really. I´m just doing what I do best, drowning myself in my studies. Hope all is well back home...miss you!!!

Dear Kdate, Sorry it is so hot where you are. Hot here too, but we do have a few days here an there where the delta breeze kicks in and we get some relief. I was in SF on Saturday and Sunday. Cool, cool cool--like 59 degrees.
You are not a dork in any way. Don't be discouraged. Most of your class mates are busy, busy, and have other social contacts. It is tough being alone while Matt is away, but you are inventive and creative and can read and study. We miss you and if I were there I would hang out with you 24 seven--probably to the point where you would tell me to take a hike. Love, Papa.
Dear Kate, please blog us. No one has heard from you in 8 days. I am sure you're o. k. but we miss hearing from you. Love, Papa
