Week #1!

Oh man…I can’t believe it’s already been a week! Kind of feels like we’ve been here so much longer! Meeting my host family was fun! They’re all really nice and super friendly. Very talkative but I don’t mind it! The first day I met my host mom she took me to church and already tried to convert me so that kind of threw me off guard. But we got all that straightened out! i’m already using vocabulary that I just recently learned which is a good sign, right? Hah but I really like it here! I’m used to a lot of things others aren’t because things are almost exactly the same as Kuwait! My señora is already ending phone calls with “te quiero mija” (i love you, daughter) which is adorable and makes me want to cry everytime she says it. The food is good! School is actually really fun and we’ve already make a couple friends around campus. We’re definitely not used to the whole guys whistling at us and approaching us and yelling things at us. Every time we think we are, something else happens. It’s been raining the last 2 days which isn’t what we were expecting! It’s supposed to continue for the next week but I hope it doesn’t! But yeah, overall I’m enjoying my time making new friends and learning as much as I can! 🙂

  1. Already having two cultures makes you so ready to learn about a third. Your host mom sounds wonderful. I’m glad this has been such a successful week. Michele
