(no subject)
So after writing a long entry about my life here in Santo Domingo for the first time, I tried to save it, but no...DELETED. Jackasses. Now I have to start over, and it is not going to be as long or as detailed because I hate typing entries twice.
I have been here for two months already and it is flying by. I really cannot believe my trip is already half way over. I am loving just about every minute of this experience. There are many things here that are very different from the US and the life I am used to, but I love it here. I have made myself at home and am becomming accustomed to the differences. Although I can say that I do miss me some good italian food...Oh Olive Garden how I long for thee...That will be my first pit stop on the way home from the airport....oh I can't wait. Back to the entry...
I have been learning a lot about myself as well. I always thought I would have trouble adapting to new surroundings, but instead I find it exciting and inspiring. I love the newness. I love the adventure. It keeps life interesting. Change is not something that should be feared, it should be embraced. I have also discovered that I can be very independent. I have learned how to take situations into my own hands and take care of buisness even when I cannot communicate entirely with the people I am working with. I learned that i call my mother way too much...I realized that when I got a three hundred dollar cell phone bill for one month. Oh should I say when she got the bill and told me to quit calling her....
I am happy here. Really happy. Although, I do miss my family like crazy, but I know my time here is going to continue to fly. My family will be home when I get there. I am a little afraid my niece is not going to remember me, but I guess she talks about me still and points at pictures and says rara. How cute.
And another piece of interesting information in my life. I have a boyfriend. Yes, you read that right. Strange I know. Something I gave up on, Something I thought would never happen, but it has. I have joined the world of couples. And I am happy. He treats me like I am a princess.
I think the only way I could ever be happier is if I had my family, my bestfriends, and my boyfriend in the same country, state, city....anything of the sort....
but such is life.
Sarah is happy and enjoying life.
