My first dance class in years!

Today I had my first folkloric dance class! I couldn't stay for the whole class because I have a schedule conflict, but so far danza folklórica seems more like jogging, jumping, and shuffling. It's a workout! I was definitely panting and sweating. It was fun, though. I think I'm going to enjoy having mandatory physical activity. 

Other updates...My mom has been making me this really tasty orange juice, but the oranges are green! Also, I had mole for lunch and dinner! It wasn't very spicy and it was delicious. I need the recipe. And Mari made green salsa again. I love green salsa. Mari and I watch my new favorite novela on weeknights. It's called, "Mujer Comprada," which means "Bought Woman." It's about a woman named Angelica who agreed to be a surrogate mother for Laura because Laura can't have children. Angelica needs the money because her mom has some sort of illness. I don't know what, but Angelica's mom has been in the hospital since the first episode. So Laura is paying all of the hospital bills for Angelica's mom, and all of Angelica's baby-related medical expenses too, and on top of that she's also just giving Angelica some money. But Angelica's having second thoughts. And of course because it's a novela, there's a lot more drama and scandal. I like it best because it began a couple of weeks ago, so I've seen almost every episode and I know what's going on. When you start watching a novela in the middle it can be tough to keep the characters straight. I am always bothering Mari with questions about who is doing what, and why. 

Tomorrow I have only one class (danza folklórica), so I think I will buy some dance clothes, and do homework of course. 

Word of the Day: anaranjada. It's the color orange. Naranja is the fruit orange.
