Thanks Sha,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I often start messages, save them as drafts and then forget I saved them. So here I go again.

I really appreciate your responses. I am curious though why do you buy so many socks? And how do you like your apartment? Can you flush in your apartment? Cuba had that toilet paper issue. It was kinda funny how cool it was to be the person with the toilet paper when everyone else forgot : )

I am trippin that Aaron is still in Japan. I thought him when I started doing my research. Can you forward his contact info I would love to ask him a few questions. I am so startled about how complex the process. I feel like I have to sit at the computer for hours in order to really understand the difference between the programs.

I am also curious about why you don't feel as social. You seem very social to me. Are you just feeling super duper introspective? What do you do in your free time? Can you tell me again how much you make and what your monthly expenses look like. When do you think you will come back to the States to visit your fam? How often do you talk to your parents?

Its interesting, I'm taking this West African dance class and it seems like most of the folk are big Black women whereas when I tried to take the an Afro-Haitian dance class most of the folk were white girls.

Okay someone is calling me right now. I'm going to send you off.Love.

I am curious though why do you buy so many socks? i dont know. b/c i can i guess. you can find them for 50 cents to a dollar.

And how do you like your apartment? i love it.

Can you flush in your apartment? i do. i dont know if youre not supposed to... but i do.

I am trippin that Aaron is still in Japan. I thought him when I started doing my research. Can you forward his contact info I would love to ask him a few questions. yeah, i'll find his email for you. give a bit.

I am so startled about how complex the process. I feel like I have to sit at the computer for hours in order to really understand the difference between the programs. once you get the ball rolling, it's surprisingly smooth and easy getting a job here. im here for all your questions, too.

I am also curious about why you don't feel as social. You seem very social to me. Are you just feeling super duper introspective? i dont know. it's my own sha-ness i think.

What do you do in your free time? i read a lot. internet surf. write. watch tv. walk around my neighborhood.

Can you tell me again how much you make and what your monthly expenses look like. i work 4 to 5 days a week, 6-7 hours a day, and clear a little over XXXXthousand each paycheck. my rent is 600/month. i pay 120/month on utilities. i send home 800-1000 every month (to my parents, and on my student loans.)

When do you think you will come back to the States to visit your fam? i will come home at the end of my contract, but im almost certain that i'll come back to kroea to teach the next term.

How often do you talk to your parents? i email them two to three times a week. i called once, but only b/c my dad was out of town and i wanted to check on my momma.
