Mixed Feelings...

I got here: first thought. why the heck am i doing this? i wanted to leave. It was humid (i hate humid) it was rainy and horrible. i was homesick.

Wednesday i came to campus and was walking around for an hour looking for someone to let me in my dorm. up and down hills beating hot sun like i was under a heat lamp. it was horrible! i finally went to a NSE meeting and met all these people who are in the same boat as me. still unhappy and homesick i went to K-mart {the only store they have...no target :( } spent a lot of money on a fan and some things i needed in my dorm. we came back together and had dinner and went to the beach to watch the sunset. when my body hit that salty ocean i had a glimmer of hope that i might actually have fun here. I stuck with those girls for awhile that night we sat in my room and talked for a few hours and then went to bed. I fell asleep thinking about how hot and humid it is in my non-air conditioned room.

Today. Thursday: Woke up at 8 showered becasue i was sooo sweaty. went to breakfast thinking there is no way i can live like this. ( my room is torn apart! everything is everywhere because i am in a substitute room because my rooms key is broken. its horrible) I keep telling myself things will be better when i get into my room and make it my own. so anyways today we took an island tour. AMAZING!!! the island has so much character... nothing like Indiana. i took a million pictures. of course. after the tour we went to Megans Bay (third best in the world) it was BEAUTIFUL. i was in the water all day! blue water. tonight teh girls are all going out but i kinda miss home so i think i might just upload my pictures to facebook and sit in my dirty suitcase filled yet empty room.

I'll get use to it

peace and love

The tropics also means humidity, but once the easterlies (winds)blow, it will be nice and cool. Plus you look like you are already enjoying the beaches. We love you.
