Last month

Okay, I have been here for almost exactly two months now. I am in my last month. As I predicted, time has gone by fairly quickly. This week I really missed my family and best friends though. But here is what I realized today:

I am capable of anything.

I am a strong, beautiful, smart American girl and I just realized that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought.

I can fly to an African island, not knowing literally a single person, and live there for three months. I can even make friends on an African island-- friends who speak another language and live a completely different style of life (in fact, pretty sure I´m having a sleepover with Nelida tonight). I can navigate the bus system on an African island. I can navigate the streets of an African island. I can do anything.

Good day. Good realizations. Hope I´m not seeming egotistical. Have a good weekend!
