Yesterday was a good day overall. I went to a REAL coffee shop for lunch with a Anna, also a social work intern from Norway. She is really great and will be here for the next month so that's good. It was the first REAL coffee I had since I got here and most people now how much I love coffee.

Last night I tackled bugs. After killing about 50 ants, I decided I should kind of unpack. I got the clutter put away and then swept the floor. I'm not sure when the last time someone swept the corners of that floor, but I know it was not recently. I then sprayed mosquito stuff all around the corners of the room. I was really proud of myself until I woke up this morning to find a huge roach in the middle of the room. I'm not sure where he came from but I am getting bug killer today and spraying my room. I can handle ants but I don't want to sleep with roaches. Henning, my landlord, saw me trying to sweep it out but it wouldn't really go because there is a slight step up out of my room. So he came and picked it up with his hand. He said I would do that eventually but I'm not really sure about that.

Other than that I think all is good. Still hot and humid.

I don't think I would be picking up a roach by hand either any time soon... and you are definitely in my prayers back here in St. Louis! Glad things are going well so far. Can't wait to read more and then meet up with you in August!!!
Peace and love!

Yay for coffee! I am actually at Starbucks right now, but I won't rub it in. I am so glad you are meeting people to hang out with. We are thinking of you! Sis
