there is a sea creature living in the river in my town. picture loch ness or champ of lake champlain. seriously....i saw it this morning as the fog lifted off of the water. but don't worry....after i ran to get a better look, i found it to be simply a recreation of a monster. and...it's smiling :)
remember yesterday when i talked about my wonderful roommate and how she is so incredibly similar to me? (i hope you all got that i was the one who you were supposed to be reminded of...) well, today as i sat in my first orientation session (which was outside, overlooking the beautiful, tree-covered mountains and valleys) and met a LOT more people, i realized that i am in a place with a LOT of people like me. and i love it.
it is so cool to be in a place where people share a passion for language and culture, a passion for making a difference, a passion for learning. when i get excited about something here, that excitement is more than simply acknowledged or appreciated. it is understood. and that, my dear ones, is a really, really fun thing. and i think i'm going to like it here :)
