Je suis arrivé!

I have arrived! And its everything I thought it would be. Crazy. I have had many ups and downs and I've only been here 4 days! I'm the most happy when I'm hearing about the amazing things we will be doing and at my most low when I think about being away from Pig and my family and friends. But then I get happy again when I get on a zem and ride through the streets of Cotonou. I feel so independent and so dependent at the same time. Training is like summer camp and jail. Its like all I do is have contradicting emotions. But that's pretty normal for me though.

Anyways, there's not much more to write...although we did have a kick-ass dance party the other night and I felt like I was back at Woodmere for a second. It made me happy...which is odd because Woodmere never EVER made me happy.

Anyways, I'm here and happy and healthy so things are good. I miss you all so much and I love you sooooo much!

I'll post again soon!

XOXO,
ray
