July 13, 2010 First Day with Homestay Family

Yesterday was the first day with the Homestay Families. It was so AWESOME!! My homestay family lives under a primary school and my Amala (mother) works there as a cook. My Achala (older sister) is a Nurse who just finished her residency. She is now studying to take a test in August in English so she can excel even further in her career.

At first I felt a little awkward because I just met my new "family" and when they would ask me questions I would give them 1 response answers. But, then I got over the awkward feeling and started asking them some questiions of my own.

Overall the experience of the first night with my homestay family was a good one and is one that I will remember for a long time, thanks to pictures and journals.

Hey, great to hear from you and happy the homestay is working out well.

I thought of you all this morning b/c my building cut off the water supply so I had to take a BUCKET SHOWER in NYC!
