My Schedule and Stuff

Welp, It is definitely harder to communicate with people in the States than previously anticipated because although I have a phone,it rarely gets service and I am busy most of the day. So for everyone that I told I would call, sorry internet is the way to go. I will attempt to use the internet every Saturday when I ride into town since I don't have school on the weekends.
Well on Thursday I learned a thing or two.
1.) I learned how to ride the motorcycle!! Yayyy, so I am finally mobile. However, I am not graceful at all and stall a lot. Yesterday I was supposed to meet Chris in Pueblo Nuevo but I couldn't get it started so my Dominican neighbors politely explained to me that if I were to take the bike out on the main road I'd probably die haha. I knew it was just a matter of getting it started because I had already been on the highway but none the less I walked to bike back to Chris' house and began walking. Today, I rode into Luperon all by myself to use the internet, but it stalled in town and as I started it back up (this is all about 20 mins ago) I launched forward, hit a curb and fell off. Only about 25 Dominicans saw, as if I didn't stand out enough being a gringa, but whatever, they helped me up and gave me a little lesson on how not to fall next time.
2.) I learned that kids are kids in every culture. They are simple. Although it is harder to discipline them when you don't know their language they normally get the picture from your tone. It should be interesting when school starts.
3.) DON'T WORRY EVERYONE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF NINOS TO PLAY WITH MY HAIR!! Because I have white people hair, the Dominicans--kids and adults-- cannot seem to resist touching it. To them it is extrodinary, which is nice to hear, since I have no brush or products with me. One thing I recently learned about myself is that I will absolutely risk lice and fleas for a good hair brushing. Those of you who know me best already assumed that I'm sure.
4.) In order for mosquito nets to work, you can't let mosquitos in. FYI.

That's about it for now~ I miss everyone, but I'm meeting new people everyday. I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be, but don't forget to remember me...
