well just thought i'd check in because i wanted an excuse to use my absolutely freaking beautiful laptop. and the wireless internet in the hotel. which i hope is free. err...
so far the day was good. much better than i thought. i was worried they would all be goray lohg but everyone i met was super nice and had a good sense of humor for the most part. of course i started off by crying when my mom & sister left, pretty much all morning. but it really helped that everyone was so chill. its weird i guess i forgot everyone here is EXACTLY in my situation. this entire time i'm freaking out and feeling like everyone is just trying to appease me but they dont really know how it is...but now i'm surrounded with people who SO know how it is. its acutally really nice, i just hope it helps when the going acutally gets tough.....becuase we're at a holiday inn in philly right now and its DEFinitely not rough. i got an ATM card with money on it and i basically spent $60 on one insanely amazing meal with neha. no pictures of such though...womp.
i currently have a soundtrack of snoring going on. i better go to bed, i only got 3 hours last night...and i've been sleeping no earlier than 5AM every night for the past month so midnight is like....i feel like amruta early bird right now hehe.
also, though, i kind of feel like i'm in school all the time, or like in a group therapy session. they keep asking me to write my feelings about peace corps in like, a workbook. i definitely haven't seen a work book in more than a decade. it even had a freaking venn diagram. wtf.
anyway. if/when i think about missing everyone, i cry. if/when i really think about where i'll be and how freaking insane it is, i panic like crazy. but when i dont think at all, and just keep following instructions and going with the flow, i feel ok. i assume humans are an adaptable species and i'll just get used to wahtever's thrown at me.
especially since i'm going to keep writing in this thing as if i'm acutally talking to you guys.
look how dramatic i'm getting and itsonly been half a day & i'm in philadelphia. in 2 days, i'll be half way across the world .... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.
love you all. also my mailing address is in the letter below. its long, but just scroll through it. send me audio tapes of you guys talking so i feel like i'm there. <333
