Dear family and friends, I am still alive!

I have very little time to type before class starts back up, but I want to let you know that I am alive and well. I have had some difficulties early on, but I will tell you about all of that soon enough (no reason to discuss negative things on this blog when there are so many wonderful things occuring). I just sent Sarah my phone number (and probably woke her up), so check to see how much international calls cost (it should be much more affordable for you). I love you all. I will try to get some photos up here and write more, but it might take a while before I get regular interenet access. Sorry, for the wait. Ciao!
