Life in Littleton...

Well not much is new here...
The week ended on Saturday (we have rehearsal from 8:30-5:30 Monday thru Saturday, and Wednesdays we have extended rehearsal until 7:30). It is soooo hot here. But I am getting more acclimated with my surroundings. Each day we get off the light rail and round past the Starbucks... then we have rehearsals, which kick my butt!!! I am loving being able to dance though. I didn't realize just how much I missed that over the last 4 years.
On Wednesday, we had the culture jam. I don't think I elaborated much on that before... but yeah... it was pretty much amazing. Getting to see where everyone comes from, is so spectacular. There are so many people, from so many places. And yet, we are all here for the same reason, trying our best to work together as UWP CAST B, 2008!!
Friday night, my host mom had somewhere to be, so my roommates and I roamed around Downtown Denver until well after 9. We had a good time. We went to Chipotle for dinner, cuz I was having a major craving for a veggie burrito. We had to laugh at Neele, as she ordered the "mild" salsa on hers, which wasn't like she expected. I believe her words were "In Germany, mild is not so hot as this. This is burning. I have fire in my mouth." Love her, lol.
Saturday was interesting. We arrived at the light rail in the morning to find that it had broken down at Mineral, which is our station. So, we had to quickly hop a shuttle to another train station and arrive in Downtown from there. Luckily, we made it just in time for morning meeting. Miguel and Gijs's host dad bought everyone in the cast a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Ah how I missed them!!! Also, as a special treat for surviving the first week, Cheryssa and Cecilie baked the cast brownies!!! Yummyyyyy!! Oh. And after rehearsal, a bunch of kids from the cast (like 30 0r 40...) and some of their host families went to watch BATMAN! Loved it! It was interesting... as I sat there sipping my Coke, I looked to my left and right. I realized that I was watching a movie about the all-American superhero... next to Franziska from Switzerland.. and Seong-Beom from South Korea. We don't all speak the same language.. but we ALL jumped when it was scary.. and we all laughed at the jokes. Its funny, how alike we are.. even though we come from such different places.

Well, I've got to go. Its 97 degrees here right now (at 5:15..) so... that to me means it is time for the POOL> ;-)
