My apologies

Its been quite a while. Honestly not a whole lot of exciting stuff is going on. Living in the city is great. I'm so proud that I can actually get around! I have learned to love walking and tolerate stairs. Last weekend I went to the leather market. I found a dried fruit stand! I got cherries, pineapple, and kiwi!! So yummy! Next week is midterms and I am a little nervous. The teaching styles are not what I'm accustomed to and it seems like an overwhelming task to study. I have been so busy with projects and studying and the like. I have also hit my first wave of homesickness. I figured this would happen. Even in a place like this that I love, nothing beats my home. Nothing can top my incredible family or friends. Being away from home always reminds me how blessed I am. Not everyone has a place that they love so much and people that love them, and not everyone has such a supportive family either. As always I am thankful for skype. I get to talk to my parents at least once a week and it has definitely made this so much easier. I love it here and I am so excited for the next few months. Come December 18th, however, I will be ready to go home.
