These past few days have been crazy! I met my host family. My sister reminds me soooo much of Jods. She is super quiet and shy and doesn't make a ton of eye contact during conversation. I decided it would be my mission to one day be able to confide in her like a sister... that day will come soon. We already talked about her casinovio (boyfriend-but-not) and when I realized that my room doubles as a storage spot for some really cool crap they don't use, I felt comfortable enough to ask her if I could rearrange the stuff and go through it so that I could have room for "all" my stuff. I say "all" because I had to leave half of it in Panama.
My compañeros are like family already. I like every one of them, which is fantastic since it appears that we will become very close within the next few months. We are already planning a trip for the next couple of days. We are thinking Uruguay?? I don't know if I want to travel so soon though... Nothing is for certain - asi es la vida, pero bueno.
I will soon be a weirda and take fotos of my room (not so fond of the color scheme, but do we have control over this? no.) and my departamento - which is 100% adorable and liveable. I feel at home there... mostly because I have a phone and cable tv in my room and my very own bathroom.
This is more of a letter than a blog, so I hope you love the info!
