Things seem to be going better. I found my host family´s house after my luggage was delivered promptly at 930 pm. (Grrrr....) They seem to be very nice. Unfortunately it´s extremely hard to communicate with them, you know, me not knowing the language and all. I´m at school right now where once again I´m assailed with the ¨why am I doing this again?¨ feeling. Everyone here seems to know someone else!!! I sure as hell don´t. It´s going to be hard to make friends if no one else is a loner like me. I´ll figure it out though, I´m sure. One girl was talking about her house mate. What the hell? I didn´t get no stinkin´ house mate!

I´m slightly out of the loop right now. I was told to be here at 830 so I arrived at 830. Makes sense, right? Well, apparently they were taking pictures at 8. Interesting. Now I have no idea where to go to take get my picture taken. That might be a good thing, I didn´t have a lot of time to get ready this morning. Elizabeth (my host mom) woke me up at 730 for a delicious breakfast of fried bananas and fried this other thing. Nothing like a blast of grease to wake you up in the morning! By the way, I´m using the term delicious very sarcastically. But I guess that´s what they eat here so eat it I shall. I will be returning to the states about 20 lbs heavier at this rate. My fried breakfast was followed by a cold shower. I kept thinking that maybe, just maybe, it would warm up. Nope!

It´s almost time for orientation so hopefully I´ll figure out what the hell is going on. I´m getting sick of the feeling that I have no idea what I´m doing. I think I´ll be having that feeling later when I´m trying to walk ¨home¨. I really don´t remember how to get there. Damn this is sucking right now. But I think that´s how it always goes.
