It´s weird not being in the states for the election results. I watched coverage of it yesterday morning, but I was with my host family, and they didn´t really get why I was so excited. But I did have quite a few Mocambicans ask me what I thought about the elections, so that was fun to talk about.

Training is going alright. We just had a midtraining language test and I scored where I need to be at the end of training...meaning I can speak like a 6 year old! Woo! We´ve had a major overload on group projects and creative skits in all our sessions. I hate that stuff. I just want to be lectured to!

My language class made an ´American Meal´ this week. We did it at my house, which was good, since my family had been doubting my cooking skills. It was nice to cook stuff the way I know how to do it. We ended up making more of an Italian meal, with spaghetti and a tomato sauce, garlic bread, and a salad, with pancakes for a snack. My sister was trying to micromanage my veggie slicing for the salad, telling me my tomato slices were too big. And I was finally able to be like ´Its an American salad! We like big pieces of tomatoes, back off!´ Ha. In the end, I think everyone enjoyed the mean. And now they can´t tell me I don´t know how to cook :)

We have site visits this weekend for 5 days! Im really excited to be somewhere else for a few days!
