Today was my first day of language school in Brussels. I was so nervous because of how difficult Spanish was for me to learn. I thought I would be the only one in the class that only knew colors and numbers and that the day would end with everyone pointing and laughing. Well, there was laughing involved, but it was all in jest: ) The professor had us draw our country and put and X over where we live. Apparently my depiction of the United States was closely resembling a giraffe. O well, I am here to learn French not win poster contests.
The professor was really cool and the other students are really rad. It is fun to have such diverse cultures in one room. I did get lost on the trams coming home from school, but that was expected. I always get lost and I have dealt with that. All in all, it was a great day. I still have not taken any pictures…they will come soon I promise.

It sounds like you are having fun there!
I hate getting lost, but I always seem to. I always feel better about being lost in a new place when I know the way and the people who have grown up there don’t. That happened once in Ethiopia.
Keep bloggin’.
