These are not all completely accurate numbers, though they are rough estimates and are pretty close to absolute truth:
2 live mice have been seen in my house
0 have been evacuated
1 stared at my roommate as she used the bathroom
19 dead frogs on my street (dried up)
2400 is the population of the town I'm living in
1 dead cockroach stuck in our screen door
24 living cockroaches attacking us per day (in the house)
2 missing deodorant sticks
100 percent love for the people
1 marriage proposal
2 times being asked out by a local
19 people living in my house (6 returned to America)
1 bathroom
1 fridge
0 complaints
0 washing machines
0 dishwashers
20 dollars we paid for a pizza
16 bug bits on my calves
3 schools I have visited
3 I have adored
195 times I have heard the song "Baby baby baby" by Justin Bieber
5 fans we have going in our house at all times
1 new favorite person that also will coincidentally be my roommate in the Fall
1 hair wrap on my head
5 days a week we work
2 days to play
1 week down
11 weeks to go
I love it here! I always think about how much I wish everyone I know could be experiencing these things. The people are the NICEST and they would do anything for you. Really. Oh Fijians.

How exciting to hear about your trip! Keep it up!
ReplyDeletei love love love LOVE the way you wrote this post. It couldn't be better. I feel like in only a few words I can get a great idea of your feelings and surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI love the marriage proposal bit! haha
ReplyDeleteHeath, I'm going to type you something from your biggest fan at the MLA. But it's a secret. This never happened. ;)
ReplyDeleteBula Heather! I just wanted to let you know that life isn't the same without you right now. I'm trying hard not to cry "I'm serious". But Liz is taking good care of me. I feel as its gross that there are so many cockroaches and dead frogs in the street. But most of all you don't have a MIRROR! Imagine that. I would die. I have some international stamps I'll be sending to you. I need you to do me a favor, promise that you'll tell me everything. I'll write you everyday. But I promise it will take time for you to get them. Don't worry about my stretchy face getting not stretchy, because Jodi takes care of it. I want you to remember that I really love you and you're always in my heart. When you come back I'll probably still be here so you're gonna be my COACHIE! I'm so excited for you to be in Fiji. It's a great experience and the people need you. Just remember to do me that favor and to be my friend. I love you Heather! Love, Coacher.
Sounds amazing!! I am so glad that you are having a blast, and I probably would have paid $20 for a pizza there too. Miss you! Thinking of you... be safe!!!
ReplyDeleteHeather I love and miss you! You sound great. They are so lucky to have you there. Be good and be safe...
ReplyDeleteAll my love,
Mom
