Today was an extremely good day. I don't know what happened, but somewhere during the last few days I actually got over the biggest chunk of my homesickness and culture shock-related misery; it's too late, for sure, but I want to enjoy the rest of my time here as much as I can. I'm getting so used to the life here that it's a little strange to think that we'll be leaving in less than two weeks, and that we won't be coming back. I've gotten used to the shower filled with tiny bugs, to the tiny washer machine and the clotheslines on the roof to dry our clothes, to rocking out til the early morning with Joyce to the greatest hits of, uh, the Backstreet Boys. I have not gotten used to the food, however, as my stomach decided to throw me a super curve ball today, meaning I spent a good part of the latter half of it not straying too far from my bathroom, but otherwise life is good!
Today was one of our older student's birthdays, so Joyce and I went over to her house. I had such a good time! I have some pictures up here, on pages 2 and 3, if anybody (Mom?) is interested in seeing.
In other news, the whimpered out "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE COME TO THE END OF THE ROOOOAD" part in the song End of the Road by Boyz II Men still makes me crack up every single time. (OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. HELP ME OUT A LITTLE BIT, BAAAABY.)

Besides getting used to the food another way to look at it is that your body is purging itself from the bad American food.
