How about your teacher at school? Is there anyone who's directly taking are of you?
I don't know if it is the same in the US, but here, people are not very patient. If you cannot understand what they are talking, they just don't talk with you but that doesn't mean that they don't like you.. It's just because they are not patient.. When your language is better, they'll eventually come and talk with you.
Why don't you do like Kru Kate?

Why don't you try watching a lot of TV series so you'll acquire more of the spoken language. For classes, I think if you don't understand what the teachers are talking, you can just see the teachers after class. Maybe you can ask them if they can spend time with you in the evening after class to review what they were teaching.
I think you may have to prioritize, Boo Boo. .. prioritize your concern. ..
What is your most concern between your study and friends? If you put the study first, just try to study hard and make a lot of contact with teachers.. When you can catch up the language from class, you will then be able to understand your friends and can make friends with your classmates and more... But if you prioritize your friends, try to hang out with them a lot. Ask them the simple questions like what you guys are doing after class. Maybe you can join their parties sometimes and just have fun with them. Then, you can catch languages from them and finally understand what your teachers are talking in class.
You are so right that it's been just 3 weeks. ... You have passed the "excitement" phase and is now entering the "irritability" phase .. You should be able to adjust yourself soon... ::001::
