Well, I don't really have much to update on again. I think I will soon finally be truly registered for all of my classes here. YAY, and only 2 months into classes :)

I am finally starting to have some work in classes, which is helping keep me busy. I also am going to start teaching English at a school here in town, which will keep me busy 3 hours a week and pay about 10 dollars an hour. Not too shabby for just having to speak English. I will start teaching next week... until then, I don't really know much about the job.

I went to a movie theater here in town on Friday that show films in their original languages, albeit with Spanish subtitles. Why is this amazing? Because every television show and movie here, if not originally in Spanish, is dubbed over in Spanish. The voice acting can sometimes be terrible, and I find it difficult to understand what the characters are saying because the mouth movements don't match with what they are saying. Anyway, I went to see Little Miss Sunshine, and it was incredibly funny. My type of humor, definately. Some of the jokes lasted a little long (like the dance scene at the end) but overall, a great film. Recommended.

Other than that, I spent all weekend playing video games. I got really addicted to one, and so it kind of took over my life. I need to remind myself that I can play games when I am the in States. However, there is one kind of cool thing about playing the game. It is an online game, and since I am playing the European version, I was playing with people from all over. One group I was with had someone from Denmark, Italy, England, and even South Africa! It was very cool for me, but routine for them.

Well, I will keep you updated on what happens this week. Stay classy.
