For my friends, family, and those interested in my life.
We got here yesterday around 5, and it was quite overwhelming. There were so many people I didn't know, a great number of unknown facts, and confusion that I was fairly stressed out inside. To say the least my first impression was absolute chaos. I was tired, even though all I did was sit in a car for the day, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
It wasn't a terrible experience like I'm describing. I simply was, and still slightly am, overwhelmed as well as mixed with worry about the rest of support I have to raise, and also finding a job. Finding a job is hard. Today I spent a good few hours with some friends trying to find places that are hiring; not much prevailed. But I'm still hopeful.
I think my favorite thing so far has been meeting new people; especially those of my action group. An action group is similar to a small group by the way. There's Christine who I already know, and then three other girls including our group leader. I really like all of them, and they're such sweet, nice girls I feel lucky to have them in our group. Although besides those girls I've also met those living in my apartment and they've been pretty welcoming towards me. This morning we all got to eat breakfast together, the six of us, and it felt nice. Something about making and eating breakfast together, is so comforting and warm.
I'll update more as time goes on. I'm trying not to let these updates, in whatever medium posted, to take much time out of my experience here. Also the creative process seems to take ages for me to finally be satisfied with my work.
Pray for me. The long period here makes me miss home more than usual.
