First week

Today concludes my first week of school in my new country. Even though at this point I only understand about 12% of what's going on in my classes, I am really enjoying it. I've made quite a few new friends and they are all extremely funny and helpful. It's been difficult getting used to the fact that I'm the only American (and ginger) for miles, but it also means that everyone has plenty of questions for me. I'm also starting to feel like part of the family for the first time too. I think that I'm starting to adjust to my new life and I'm really looking forward to the next nine months!
