Me gusta bailar!!

So I definitely wasn't planning on updating today, because the day wasn't particularly interesting... until this evening, hehehe.
But first, the one other thing that happened today that was worth writing about. So every afternoon in the second half of classes, my class joins another that's at about the same level as us, and we play games to practice vocab and verbs. Since we reviewed body parts today, I decided to teach everyone the body song/game/warmup that Ethan did with all the circus folk last semester. (It starts with jumping up, landing, and screaming "Pie pie pie, pie pie pie!" while pointing at your foot, then goes up the body). It was sooo much fun! Though I got quite a few weird looks. I love being the crazy one. =)
This evening I took the bus for the first time. I was slightly nervous, hoping I'd get off at the right spot, but it ended up being no problem. Then I got to school and went down to a small gym where our dance class was being held. There were five of us taking it (y un muy guapo profesor!). We started with salsa, which was sooo much fun. I actually started sweating and could feel my abs working! I missed this so much!! It was so nice to be using my body and dancing. I forgot how good it felt. We did salsa for the first hour and a half, and for the last half hour, we did tango! Needless to say I was super excited (and wondering why I left my tango shoes at home!) The teacher is a young guy (no idea how old, but he is such a good dancer!) and actually teaches at a school in the Mariscal area (part of town). I'm thinking of taking classes there as well as at school. Next week, he's going to teach us some capoeira, and something else as well. Oh my, class was so much fun (the best part of my day). It really left me quite euphoric!
Once I got home, I studied a little bit (we have tests every Friday) and knitted for awhile. I started knitting again last night because I was sooo bored, then realized that's why I brought my knitting! For those of you that saw the red scarf I was working on...I destroyed it. On purpose of course. I completely undid it and started over. I realized I don't have the patience to do a scarf that's 50 stitches wide. The new one is 25, and I'm practicing the purl stitch.
I just got off of skype with my parents not long ago. It's so nice to hear their voices (if any of you have skype and want to talk, let me know!) and they got to talk to and see my little brothers! It was a lot of fun! =)
Haha, I had to stop writing for a little bit because my host dad came up and wanted to know if I had looked for their house on Google earth yet! So he showed it to me, and I showed him my house, then he showed me Pichincha, a nearby mountain (and volcano? I can't remember).
Tomorrow is my first day of community service. It should be interesting. I'm working with 1-5 year olds, so needless to say, I'm sure I'll be worn out by the time I get home and my little brothers want to have tickle fights, haha! I love this! =)
