I don't change. I don't care.

Well, yesterday was full of excitement and today was mostly devoid of excitement.  Yesterday we had our first language assessments which I guess went well.  Sharon asked me, "Where is your favorite place to eat around here?" and I think I answered, "Pineapple".  But other than that, I mostly understood the questions she asked me.  After language class, Meg and I walked to Supermart and sat down with some of the CYF trainees who live on the other side of the tracks.  It's weird that we hardly ever see the other Americans who live in the same town as us and are here working for the same program.  But it will be really fun to go to Banate with everyone in Iloilo on Friday for our COOKOUT.
We also had the first part of birthday festivities for Sharon and Jaron during our technical class.  We had cake, cookies n cream ice cream, and Coke.  It was a really nice Friday!
THEN, I slept for a while because I knew we were going out in the evening.  At 7:30, we went to videoke at Smallville (an area notorious for its drugs and general lack of morals).  Our counterpart teachers from ICNHS met us there and we sang songs until about 12.  My counterpart and I sang "Baby One More Time" together. Hopefully I wasn't too obnoxious.  The night ended with me getting a serious case of the hiccups.  

The birthday lady! With Roli and Carlos.

Today, I mostly laid around in bed for as long as I could.  Merikar invited me to dinner so she, my host mother and I went to Supermart for a dinner of noodles and pizza.  Then we wandered around the street market for a while and went to SM so my mom could pay her phone bill.  Then I came home, finished Run, and now here I am.  I'm ready to watch some Degrassi, get in bed, and not wake up until at least 6.
