rhodent or bear

ok ryt , this is 1st post from the land of the bull, (sigh) my first week was intense.
so i arrived to Waco (pronounced Wayco), on tuesday and the weather was waaay awesome around about 20 degrees celcius. I got to the bearpit ( central meeting place where they keep actual live bears ( waay stoopid and mean)) and there was no one there to meet me cause i arrived early so i was like ok let me walk to my handler's office so there i am trekking acros baylor with my 27kg suitcase, my 10kg hand luggage and my laptop bag. long story short i fell flat on my face got rescued by a neuroscientist and trekked round baylor for no good reason

day 2
met other up with other into's (international kids) and had a crazy fun expensive in rands trip to walmart , good stuff.

day 3
had the longest orientation , BUT they gav us free food and i won a t-shirt (oh yea).

day 4
omg omg omg , we went to the bank and wer there for like 3 and a half hours, not at all fun in any way. But as a sort of redemtion we got to go to the mall and i went shoppin ( life is good). Um we also just chilled and had a blast later on we went to this coffee shop called common ground all the rhodents will get its similarity to home ground and seriosly , its pretty much the same.

day 5
we wer supposed to do this walk thing with all the other into girls bt it suddenly became freezin , it was so cold that i gt brain freeze from the outsyd, nt fun and there wer crazy g-town style winds. howeva the scene was rescued wen we went to starbucks,it was so intense havin americans tryin to correct my pronounciation of rooibos , grrrr
later on we went to my first basketball game and i will say this , i HATE the american way of playin sports , u hav so many breaks that a 15 min quarter turns in2 an hour

essentially all i hav to say 4 the mo is that i'd rather be a rhodent than a bear

Hey Chipo, thanx for the update! The 'rooibos' thing would really infuriate me. Anyway, keep relying on God and I pray you'll start to feel more at home.
