I'm Here!!!

I am finally here in Durban. The first night and day were a little rough. Right when I got in I met my host family. They are so incredibly nice and seem to be obessed with the fact of me eating. They eat enormous meals and always want me to finish my massive plate. The first time I had the African food I of course got sick because of course that would happen to me. We were on our way to the mall and I had to ask the driver to pull over so I could throw up.. Probably one of my most embarassing moments. So, needless to say that my first day in Durban was not the best. I also realized I was a little more homesick that I had ever though I would be. Hilary and Ally I miss you both so much! I am trying to figure out a way to call you guys that would be cheap, but for now I will just email you too! Al I hope your trip was fun! Today is also Matt and I's 3rd year anniversary, Love you so much matty! My rotation starts on Monday and we work about 8 hours a day. I also just figured out that we have to write 2-3 page papers weekly alone with various assignment... FUN! I miss everyone so much! The internet is hard to find in Durban so I probably won't get to update for like a week! Hope everyone is doing well!
