All of the letters that everyone wrote me before I left have been priceless while I’ve been here.  However, today’s letters won best overall because a few of the kids that I worked with at Camp Weiuca (it was 5 years ago that I was a summer counselor) sent me letters, and they were priceless!  I got pictures, and whole sentences from some of my favorites, and I remember when they were just learning to spell.  Made me feel great!  Old, but great.

Compared to the past couple of days (or any day, really) today was very uneventful.  I slept in because I stayed up late, and put off grocery shopping and showering.  It proved a poor decision with the groceries because it rained again this afternoon, and I never did make it into town.  I did take a freezing cold shower (the water works, but hot water is an issue), and cooked some spaghetti for dinner.  I did get to talk to Mom over the phone without it dying five minutes into the conversation.  I bought a Skype subscription since they don’t have a computer camera, and it really was worth it to me.  I also finished two books and watched Sex and the City DVDs on my computer.  I’m surprised I’ve gotten an entire paragraph out of today. 

I’m thankful...
1. for a double bed in a quiet room.  It really is a pretty comfortable room.
2. for DVDs from home.  Although, the characters from Sex and the City definitely seem hard to relate to from here.
3. for roommates to keep me from going crazy.  The new girls are very nice!  They’ve had a worse start than any of us, so if they can stick it out, why can’t I?

Goodnight and much love!
