they're here!

well, almost!
Roberto, Abril, Baba and Ali arrive tomorrow! we're very excited to see them!
They've been traveling a bit before coming here (london and paris), and this coming weekend we will all be going to Venice!!
Then Baba (my sister) and Ali (a friend) will go back to Mexico, but Roberto and Abril will stay 'til the end of the month. We are hoping to be able to take another trip before they leave.
I have made friends with a couple of girls from Mexico. They're super nice and we get along great! I feel like things are going back to normal, after a few months of "settling in".
We are still going to German classes, every tuesday and wednesday from 8-10pm. I feel we've made a lot of progress, and we can manage to make sentences (even if the grammar is not quite there yet). The teacher says we are VERY very good for a beginner class (we're even better than her other beginner class!! nananana). The class ends on july 4th, and i think we'll stop taking classes after that, and maybe just continue on our own.
Its been already 8 months since I got here (9 for Gera), and 10 since we left Bloomington, but who's counting?
oh, and Happy Mother's Day (in mexico it is always on the 10th, here on the 13th)
hint hint: i have not heard from a lot of you... I hope you're all ok, enjoying spring, and having fun in the sun! dont forget to write.
