Today marks the day of being here for one month. In some ways, it feels longer and in other ways it seems shorter. When I think of how long it has been since I have seen my family, it feels like a year. But when I think about teaching, it feels like I've been here for a week.
Time is strange here. The days inch by but the weeks zoom past. I feel that I could stay here longer than two months if I would have been able to spend more time with my family. Six days with them was not enough, especially after my first year of college. I am slightly disappointed that I leave as soon as I get back, but I still have the rest of the summer with them. That's the hard part: your family isn't just a phone call of email away. It's very expensive to call the States and the Internet is very slow. But I will see them soon. And of course, God is always with them and me.
I was very impressed with my bartering skills. Today, I got a skirt from seven cedis down to three cedis. All by myself! I remember the Mexico days when I would have my dad barter for me. But now, I'm finally learned how to do it solo.
