I love it!

The start of week four here…

Wow. I hadn’t thought of that until my wonderful roommate counted the days for me.

Not only is she fantastically funny, my compass and bus map for getting around the city, a language coach… but she does math for me too! I am so blessed by what she does for me… as I try to learn my right from my left here.

I am finding out that language is still going to be a very steep curve for me… I just can’t seem to learn fast enough! I think subconsciously I was hoping that miraculously I would wake up one morning after breathing in the air, smiling at a few locals, and listening to their conversation… and would just automatically KNOW.

He he… instead I found out… I will have to learn the normal way. The hard way.

But in the midst of it all- I am being blessed.
Just by being here.
Just by meeting my students at the English center.
Just by being able to answer the questions of the teachers who teach at the center.
Just by being me.

I love it!

I love that the women here perfectly match their astonishingly high heeled boots to their beautiful coats and are pretty much always dressed ‘to the nines.’ I love that there is actual architecture in downtown buildings. I love that “hot” here was yesterday, a whopping 80 degrees F. I love that I can have internet and keep up on Facebook with friends and family across the globe. And I love… well… I love that I can say “I love…” in yet another language even if I can’t properly conjugate the direct object yet!
