House Update

Here is my house thus far. I moved in August 5th, and have realized that the process of making it a home will be longer than expected... I just don´t have the money! But I am so excited to be cooking my own food! Tuna melts, pasta, and vegetable stir fry have been my main dishes thus far. Last night I finished cooking beans - 8 hours soaking and 3 to 4 hours cooking. It feels so good to finally have my own private space. I even feel like my relationship with my former host family is better because they´re not involved in my daily life. I can blast music, sing outloud, use electricity without feeling guilty, I can go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without having to go outside (scary!). Life is good, having me time in my own house means a lot!
