Update

So I guess it’s been a while since I’ve updated this thing. A lot has happened over these past few months, but I’ll keep this short.

July-
I went home to meet my paternal grandmother for the first time. She is an amazing, funny, caring, loving, and inspiring woman. I cherished my time with her and I can’t wait to go to Nigeria.
My peaceful home stay with my Salvadoran host family came to an end when I came back from vacation. While away my host family decided that fourth and fifth grade students could have class in our living room until construction on the school is over. It was a very chaotic environment everyday with children running around screaming and staring at me while doing regular, daily tasks. I think they were out of class more than they were actually in class.

August-
I dealt with them (the kids) for a month, but then it became too much. I was stressed out and started to hate them and my host family for allowing them to be there. Long story short, I looked for another house and, after a terrible experience filled with lots of drama and horrible gossip, now finally have my on house for the next six months. The house is absolutely perfect and I am much happier. My host family has been acting a little strange with me, but over time I’m sure they’ll get over it.

Present Day-
I have about five months left down here in El Salvador and I still have not had a visitor. At this point I’m over it. Instead of begging friends and family members to come down here, I will travel to Honduras and Guatemala for vacation. Honduras next month and hopefully Guatemala for New Year’s (if we ever get that ban lifted). No hard feelings people…I know that if you truly wanted to visit you would have.

That’s all for now,
Mya
