My friend Elaine recently got peer pressured into updating her blog, which was all fine and dandy, until the peer pressure turned my way. I do have several semi- interesting updates, so I'm about to succumb to peer pressure and write that blog.

1. My Rotary club had a food/ clothing donation in a town called 'El Conejo' (the rabbit).

This was one of the coolest experiences I've had so far in Mexico. It was one of those times when you just know that what you're doing really matters. Basically, we collected food and clothes for a week or so, then drove 3 hours to donate everything to several poor families. When we gave stuffed animals to the two little girls in "our" family, their smiles showed how thankful they were for just a small gift. It's always good to take a step back and think about how much STUFF we have that we do not need. In the end, the love of family and friends matters so much more. Seeing the faces of those little girls reminded me of what Rotary stands for, but more importantly how much I love giving, and helping others.

2. I changed families!

On Monday, it was decided the four exchange students in my club would change families on Tuesday. So, Tuesday was spent packing and cleaning. I realized I have a LOT of stuff, which really scares me for when I have to pack everything up for good in the summer. Tuesday night, around 7, we made the big change. It's not really that big of a deal because I have already met my other two families, and we see them quite often. The biggest thing was the shock of having to change families overnight. Now, I don't have a little sister, but a dog instead. It's just my host parents and me, but it's no big deal. So far, so good! I have my own room, my own bathroom, a couch and whatnot. I really love my room. Point: Changing families is kind of scary but it's not actually a big deal. You move, and that's all.

I know this has been a lousy post, but it was demanded.
Thank you for reading :)
