Getting involved

Thanks for all of your comments! I'm glad you all are enjoying my photos :) My host mother is really into photography and she is taking a class through my university. I got to go with her one day and it was awesome. My madre here loves getting invloved in activities around town. She belongs to a book club, cooking club, and is taking a photography class! One thing I have noticed is that adults here are very active and invloved in the community. My university offers loads of classes for senior citizens as well. Today I went with my madre to sign up for a film club. We're going to see a movie this Wednesday and afterwards we get together at a café to talk about it. Here is the trailer for the movie... its called "La Voz dormida" and is based on a novel about the Spanish Civil War. I'm really excited! Can you think of ways to get involved in the community in Portland? Are you already involved?

Heres the trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yHMtLUKr0

  2. That movie looks very scary. It scared me watching just the trailer. The music was a good side affect but also creepy. That type of music always scares me. But it seems like an interesting movie that maybe some day I would go see.

  3. Hey Jordan!
    Its me again, Lili! I dont do alot of extracurricular activities, but I do enjoy volunteering. Sometimes my friends Allie and Erin volunteer at group places. Over the summer we volunteered at our school twice. Once for making packets to send to all the students, and another time during orientation. At orientation, we showed all the new kids where their clesses are and showed them how to open lockers. It was really fun! Also, this weekend Allie, Erin and I are going to a group about being a femiist, since we all are.
    Talk to you soon!!!

  4. Dear Jordan,
    I wish I could be as involved as you Madre! It sounds like she enjoys every second of her life. "La Voz dormida" looks like a really interesting film and I hope to see it sometime. I don't do as many things as your Madre, but I do take piano lessons here in Portland.
    I hope you are having fun,
    Leilani

    Estimado Jordan,
    Me gustaría poder estar tan implicado como tu Madre! Parece que ella disfruta cada segundo de su vida. "La Voz Dormida" se parece una película muy interesante y espero verlo algún día. Yo no hago tantas cosas como tu Madre, pero sí toma lecciones de piano aquí en Portland.
    Espero que se diviertan,
    Leilani

  5. That movie looks interesting. You will have to tell me what it is about.
    My mom makes me do all sorts of clubs. Some are fun, but others can be not so fun. But they are always a different experience. What do they teach you in the film class?

    Esa película se ve interesante. Usted tendrá que decirme de qué se trata.
    Mi mamá me hace hacer todo tipo de clubes. algunos son divertidos, pero otros pueden no ser tan divertido. Pero siempre son una experiencia diferente. ¿Qué es lo que te enseñan en la clase de película?

  8. Dear Jordan,
    It sounds like your Madre really enjoys photography. I wish i could take photography classes, it sounds very interesting and seems fun. My sister also loves photography and she is also a very good artist. The trailer for the movie looks very good and i want to read the book then go see the movie. It looks like it will be very well made and have a very excellent cast.

    Estimado Jordan,
    Parece que su Madre realmente disfruta de la fotografía. Me gustaría tomar clases de fotografía, suena muy interesante y parece divertido. Mi hermana también le encanta la fotografía y ella es también un excelente artista. El trailer de la película se ve muy bien y quiero leer el libro y luego ir a ver la película. Parece que va a ser muy bien hecho y tiene un elenco muy excelente.
