About Me

Hi! Welcome to my Blog! Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think, or just that you've read my posts. :D I go to Martinsville and I'm a senior. I'm involved with a lot of things...but it keeps me busy so I'm not complaining. I'm currently in Mexico studying to become fluent in Spanish, and that is the main purpose of this blog. I love my family. They are my rock. I'm stubborn, but I'm friendly. :D Chelsi and I are best friends. Tori keeps me in check. And Samantha cannot be labelled to me. Ian is my boyfriend of a long time, and I like it that way.

My First Day

Okay, so this is a LOT harder than I thought it would be. Everyone speaks sooo FAST!! It´s so hard to try to figure out. I´m doing alright though. My host dad drove me somewhere today, and traffic down here is CRAZY. It´s like a freeforall!! Oh well, it´s different. My house is really pretty. I love it. I miss my family and Ian a LOT. And I hate to admit it, but I´ve cried a bit from homesickness. I´ll be okay though. Poco a poco. Little by little. That´s what my host dad told me. He caught me crying and made me feel SOOO much better. Other than that, I hung out with my host sister´s friends today. They are crazy, but they´re all really welcoming. The funny part about all that? My host sister is at camp and she wasn´t there with me. Lol. Anyway, other than some homesickness, it´s wonderful down here.
I MISS YOU ALL!!!
Love,
Maggie Rose

    Hey Maggie,

    I remember that first night - I didn't cry, but I was so confused. It'll become a lot clearer soon and you'll realize they're not talking as fast as you think they are.

    Send me an email if you ever need anything.

    Much love!

    Hola Maggie, acaba de comprobar su blog para saber cómo va todo para usted. Me sentí aliviado al ver que ha llegado de forma segura y que su familia es tan compasivo. Espero que disfrute de su estancia, y espero que las futuras actualizaciones. Staci

    So I have no idea what Staci said, but hope it made you laugh! Mom told me last night that the culture shock is lessening. You KNOW you can do anything you set your mind to so hang in there. I prayed for a guardian angel to walk beside you each day and sleep by your bed each night. So you are all set to go!!!

    Love you, Aunt Jodie
