better

So i had hoped to put up a bunch of pictures today, but it's taking forever and i've already been at the internet cafe for hours so i'm going to put it off. But i did want to let y'all know that things have been much better since the last time i updated. I'm close to working out all my bureaucratic issues, and am feeling much better about my social situation. In addition, i'm very close to being done with my law school applications - today i sent completed applications to 5 schools - i have 3 more that lack bits and pieces and i need to get my last recommendation in and send those and then i'll be DONE!...and then the waiting starts :-/. But yeah, things are going well. Vanessa's in St. Denis doing training for the week, which means that i get to try and bond with our other roommates. Monday we watched Final Destination 3, which turns out to be a terrible movie in any language. Today for the second week i'm going to go to a Mourangue class. Mourangue is the local martial arts style - a lot like capoeira. The class is open to all ages, but its almost all little kids, which makes it really unintimidating. And this weekend we're heading back up into the mountains with a big group of English teachers - the plan is to do a six-hour hike on saturday, spend the night in a bed and breakfast, and probably get a bus back. I WILL remember to bring my camera!

Love y'all
