La vida campo is usually mas bien, but sometimes it is soooooo frustrating! Things move at such a different pace, much slower than I would like them to. And there is little motivation to advance and move forward and change their lives.
So in short, I have my work cut out for me. Partly this is my fault. I had to much time to think about PC. I let my idealism get out if control. I forgot how real life is.
But on the upside, my birthday festivities went excellent! I had my host brother bring some meat, we killed a chicken, I made a cake and cookies, and we sat at a table with a tablecloth. I felt super special :-)
I have also discovered suavitel. An incredibly strongly scented fabric softener that keeps your clothes smelling fresh even when they don't dry for a week.
Oliver is still crazy. When I went away last time, he went back to stay with my second host family, except they were not there. He stayed alone with his girlfriend and without food for five days. Livin on love. He was also fighting and at some point during this time lost part of his tounge.
Finally, I am in my house! Wohoo a space of my own! It's super nice and I am loving buying new things and organizing and making it mine.
