Berlin

So its been exactly a week since I have been in Berlin. I guess things are going ok but it has been a rough time. The hardest part is not the bathroom, or the fact that bugs are everywhere, or that I have to bath in the great outdoors, although those things are so much different than what Im used to. The hardest thing for me is the communication. It´s so hard to communicate with the people I am with all time. They don´t understand me and I can´t understand them. It also isn´t an easy task to communicate with the people at home either beause there isn´t very many means of internet access and telephone. It also seems as though I am so useless. The most I have done so far is draw 2 large pictures and type something into the computer at Mi Berlim. I hope I get to start doing more. I am always so tired and I don´t understand. I never thought I would go to sleep at 8 pm at the latest. All I ever want to do is sleep and I think it has to do with the adjustment thing. I have also had a bit of trouble adjusting to the food. I just don´t like a lot of it and sometimes the smell of it makes me sick. I love the kids here though. The kids in my family are hilarious and are always inviting me to play soccer or read with them which I love. I never thought I would have this much trouble adjusting. Today is probably the best day I have had yet though. I just really miss home. I hope that I can start to find more things to help with and do more. My Spanish is starting to get a little bit better but I am still nervous and awkward and I always say things the wrong way. Today Sally from CRISPAZ came and visited me and it made me feel more comfortable about being here and the fact that I am having such a rough time. I just hope that I start to enjoy being here more because right now I am a little bit lonely and bored.
