As of today, I have officially been here for one month.
A month is time enough to have grown a bit; and do I feel like I have grown? Yes.
I think I´m finally getting the hang of this being in a big family thing. That doesn´t mean that I would have loved to grow up with 6 siblings, but it´s getting better. My Spanish is progressing too. Not something that I would have thought was true, but today at lunch, everyone was complimenting me on how much better my Spanish is, so I guess it must be true. I don´t think that I´m talking half as much as I should, but I´m slowly getting over the whole second-guessing every word that I say, and just going with my gut.
As much as I would love to say that I am some sort of sophisticated world traveler who can adapt to any environment whatsoever, but that would be a lie. I´ve come to the conclusion that I am a mall/street market kind of girl, not a South American flea market one. I would love to explain what I mean, but I can´t find the words. It seems that as my Spanish gets better, my English gets worse.
Kind of a short post because I don´t really know what to say except for that I´m alive and well. 140 more days here seems like a long time, but I´m sure it will fly by. But for now, I´m content with it just being today.
