once again...

Starting over again! When i first decided that i wanted to move to Paraguay the most terrifying part was knowing that i was going to have to stare a new family in the face and call them my own and a new school and make friends when my communication skills are..lets just say not fantastic. Then i had to make that decision all over again when i contacted AFS about my family issues. Starting your whole life over twice within two monthes completly knocks you off your feet. Currently i am RE-Experiencing the phases of not knowing anyone, not knowing where to go and not having anyone to talk to yet this time in more of an extreme.
     This time i live in a big city. Which makes going anywhere about two hundred times more intimidating than it was traveling in Quiindy considering i know the entire population in about two days. However i did greatly miss the city. I live about two seconds of the mall and super market and Ruta 2. Ruta two is a very important piece of Paraguay considering there are only two routes that go anywhere elsa Ruta 1 and 2 you have to use is you wish to go anywhere from school or Argentina.
     Though this adjustment has been hard i learned a lot from the first time having to adapt to a new school and family which made it easier and more educated when i speak and make decisions. Though without having my sister Vale it is harder to feel belonging. My new family is okay i still feel like i was just a ugly lost puppy that they had to take in because the didnt want me to get hit by a car yet i am still a ugly dog so they dont show me off or give me too much attention. But i am trying my best to make myself useful and interesting but it very hard. Considering my family has a maid that does EVERYTHING and hard to be interesting when you have no one to talk to a your language is still quite limited but who cares!
     i made some new friends at school and i am going to Quiindy this weekend to see Vale and Ann (afs friend) and then i am going to the big party there which should be fun and i will get to speak english with Ann. I MISS ENGLISH! well my hour is up at this computer spot until next time ! chau!
