So it is my birthday and my day was pretty good. I had ifirina again but they fried it this time and it was much better. We had language for 3 hours but it was really good this time. Then we had to go do interviews but Barry (the health trainer) was so disorganized that we had to spend a long time looking for a translator. I got angry but got over it. I really have to work on not always being in control of the situation. It is really hard to do that but whole experience is going to improve my ability to sit back and relax.
I had a quick lunch and then we had 4 hours of health training. I voiced my opinion about how disorganized it is. They say they are trying to teach us about how the culture is here and to get used to it but I think that is a bunch of bull. We all wanted to do something for my birthday but because our family expects us home we just got to hang out a little bit.
Oh, I talked to Mom this morning. It was so good to hear that she is doing okay.
Anyway, I got home and took pictures of my house and the kids to e-mail home tomorrow (hopefully). Then I showered and just talked to Antonia.
Ok Gimpy update: She is doing okay. They fed her tonight and I think because she is so malnourished she ate to much and her stomach bloated. She walked around a little bit and then came in the house. My host mom told me she slept with her. I am worried about her stomach though. We are going to give her a bath and start taking her places with us.
So tomorrow we are going to Dili and I am really excited because I get to eat real food like chocolate and coke and beer! I am going to stock up on munchy food and hide it in my room. I eat well her-my sweet buds are just feeling left out!
Time to hit the sack, we have to be at class at 7 am!
