two movies

Well, we had two movies this weekend. One, on Thursday night was"Things we lost in the fire" with Halle Berry and Benecio Del Toro. Good story, slow, though and almost painful. Very intense and there was no way around it. Tonight we watched "Hitch" with Will Smith. Wow, great fun. I definitely enjoyed it and would see it again and again.
I have been a little dragged out since returning from the village. As a matter of fact, today i was actually missing Marabelo and all the great people there. I look forward to visiting again. I am still a little homesick for the States. it is a weird and weary feeling to stop and think"My word, I am here! Finally--Africa!" I miss alot of folks back there---there were one or two unresolved issues and I think about them often. i know that at this point anything unresolved will fade into nothingness....to me if people could not express themselves properly knowing i was leaving then the issue never was mine to begin with-just some drama they needed to dredge up. I certainly miss my family and my closest friends.
I am sure I will feel better once i develop more relationships here. i have already started to meet people---I talk to everyone! I will say I have not met any Americans my age yet though. Some teens, but no adults. I think my American accent is fading but thats okay too.
