6 June 2000

The first day of school was horrible. I felt like we were racing along much too fast for me. I was learning mucho1 , but I wasn't remembering anything. I was filled with anxiety and felt that I would never learn. Quise volver a los Estados Unidos2 .

Today was better. I felt more comfortable with la conversación, y las clases no estuve demasiado dificil3 .

Pero después dos o tres dias6 , it will be a lot more comfortable. Within a month, we'll be 'old hands'. Granted, each country will present different problems, but I think that the first week we'll be learning to slow down, how to solve problems, and how to travel.
