When my friend Sam has had much more than he can stand or when things just seems unreal we always ask "Is this real life?" I've been asking myself that lately now that i have been in my permanent site all of ten days. I'm in the department of San Miguel and it's HOT here! HOT like 100 degrees everyday!
OK inicial thoughs upon arriving:
1. Ooooh the beach is less than a block away
2. This is far from town....how am i gonna go grocery shoping
3. I cant understand anything these ppl are saying
4. I'm gonna lose so much weight in this heat (which has not happened)
5. Ok now i'm ready to go back to Cañas (my training community near the capital)
The first day that I was in my community I started crying hysterically. Maybe it was the house (the 2nd floor where i sleep has no windows nd i've seen atleast 5 rats to date), or the accent of the ppl (my spanish is going to be sooooooooooo different when i leave here), or maybe the fact that I'm far away from my friends. Anyway....it was a bad first day...and the heat didnt make it any better. I was ready to go home by day 2. I couldn't remember why I had signed up for this and I felt like I was making a big mistake. I've been taking it one day at a time and trying not to think about the two years that i have left here (cough ONE cough). I've had great support from Cholo and all my other PC friends. One day at a time is my new motto.
not much time to continue....
love you all,
salu
