mi nueva familia

yesterday i met my new "family"--sonia, la mujer, y su "hijo" cristian, who live in providencia in a house that strangely resembels the house of my father: very clean. sonia is incredibly sweet and accomodating: she took me to jumbo, which is like the costco of chile, where we had to buy all the food for my weird california veggie diet. and i cooked for them last night--spaggheti, which they were not very familiar with. she is always trying to feed me, and crisitian talks way too fast, and he doesn´t look in my eyes (guess where he looks instead, while he talks to me...), so i am feeling incredibly tonta there.
today i met my "tutor," who is going to help me and four others to "conocer" la ciudad.
have to go. i think it´s going to be ok.
