First Full Day
So I tried to post an update yesterday but the wifi crashed and I lost all I wrote. I got reconnected but it didn't save so I decided not to try at all. In a nutshell, there were no problems with my flights, at all. I slept through most of them. My luggage arrived fine. I was in Vilnius for a little while, and in listening to the radio, I heard a ton of familiar songs like Not Afraid, California Girls, and Alejandro. I was really homesick at first though. I had thoughts of leaving, and I cried a fair bit. I'm getting much better now. I'm staying at a Rotarians house, Vygintas Grinis, while we are at the language and culture camp. I met my mom yesterday though. She is really nice but doesn't know much english. I hope this will help me learn Lithuanian! Today, I slept in for awhile and then the other exchange students arrived. Natalie, from Minnesota, John, from Michigan, and Yu Shan from Taiwan. We went to a language camp and then a Rotary meeting. The language camp will be helpful I think. The Rotary meeting was fine but I couldn't understand anything. After the meeting, we walked back to Vygintas' house. It was great to see the city on foot. It looks amazing. It helped cure homesickness. Well, thats it for now. I miss and love you all!
