Three months in

Unfortunately, I do not have a really great post. It's not because nothing interesting has happened, but it's all so random.
I moved into my house at my site. Yay! I am very excited. There are some issues with it, of course, but I am not allowed to say on the open web. I just hope they get fixed asap. Other than those issues, though, the place is great! I walk in my backyard and have a mango tree! My house has a living room, a bedroom, and a very small kitchen (which might turn into my closet- since I will most likely cook outside). I bought some pots at market yesterday. I still have yet to figure out the coal pot. Maybe I will tomorrow. One thing at a time. I did laundry this morning. I think I found my "small boy" that will be around a lot. He was tired of watching me struggle doing laundry and stepped in. Oh the joys of being incompetent.
Some things I really miss. The news (send me magazines- good and trashy ones!!). AC. Cooking anything I want. VT football games! woot woot. Chocolate (if you can find a way to ship that, I would be ecstatic!). Driving. And on the top of the list: my family (of course). Awww.
Can you tell I am a little homesick? What I find interesting is that no matter when I want to go home, I just think about what that means and the thought vanishes. I do love it here. I would not want to leave. It's strange to feel that way. You want to go home, but you don't want to leave. It's like a big contradiction.
These past few months have been a complete roller coaster ride of emotions. Some crazy experiences. It sure is changing my perspective on a lot of things.
Well, my time is almost up and I still want to get some news in.
