hey everyone! i just wanted you to know that i made it:) culture shock hit me HARD. not a good idea. i was determined i was coming home because it is just crazy here. nothing like you would have expected. but im calmer now:) kinda. haha so i left on wednesday at 10 to chicago, then went to frankfurt germany and then to kiev, ukraine. the flights were alright i was freaking out cause i hate flying but all in all it was ok we kept ourself entertained:) then we got in  a creepy van and they dropped us off at our host family. they claimed that me and lisa were neighbors and close. ok close to them is not close to us. so they drop lisa off and then the panic began. so i went to my host families house and all of their houses look like so wt (white trash) but like you go inside and woof its amazing. like way nicer than i expected. so what did i learn? not to judge a book by its cover:) But anyways so we just hung out there and then the panic attacks started going crazy. I had no internet for some reason their internet wont connect with my computer so here i am alone cant talk to lisa, home, mitch, anyone. freaking out. so i got on their netbook and the only website i could get to in english was facebook. and not very well either. Well i finally went to bed and woke up at 4 and couldnt go back to sleep haha jet lag. Then today we went to school and learned the rules and the plan. we start teaching on monday! exciting! but really really nervous. anyways ill start taking lots more pictures ive been a bit busy freaking out haha but lov eyou all thanks for everything you guys did!
