I've started a new hobby of watching a novela called "El Clon" with my doña. It's really funny with lot's of drama and it's based in India or something. My doña says she likes it because she's learning about other cultures. Don't know much validity this soap opera has but I definitely bought in too. Haha. I think the actors in it are pretty cute too.

My mosquito bites are still existent and still growing. But there's good news. Today I got my B-complex so maybe the damn bugs will leave me alone. I was also told to eat fresh cloves of garlic. Guess not only the mosquitos will stay away but everyone else in general. Haha. Anything to get rid of these annoying pests.

My presentation went well. I think my dinamica (ice breaker) was good and the viewers constantly participated. I think me calling them by their name may have been the real reason, but it was definitely a good experience for my first presentation. One down, two more to go. We also got our new projects for the week. I have to investigate a nearby library and prepare a lesson to teach by next week. Yikes. I am glad these are baby steps but I will definitely be nervous to jump into presenting to real Dominicans. Not the fake ones. Haha.

Today was a mail day and I was devastated to learn that there was no mail for me. I was certain I would have mail because everyone said they were going to send me stuff and there was nothing. Boohoo. I definitely was disappointed because getting mail has been my only way of enjoying little tokens from home. Wah wah wah… I am being very lame but I think today it hit me that I am in the DR and stuff like mail isn't secure. I just hope next week I get everything I have been waiting for.
