So there are a lot of people who lie here in MK just like anywhere else. I have been trying to get internet now for over a month and still nothing. I moved to a new place, got a new roommate and the new boss said that we can get internet on the first day. Unfortnately he was also stealing internet at the same time and was lying. So now Luli and I are stuck trying to get internet from any other source and it is still causing problems.

 

I continue my job search, but without internet it proves to be a bit more difficult than I imagined. Of course the NGO’s here are not just standing around with large billboards on them and I have no proper means of introducing myself or a use of contact to get in with them, except for Ivanna. Of course the day I was supposed to meet with her boss I became sick and I am still sick 4 days later and even worse than before.  

Yeah sometimes I miss home. I think about the time when I get to come into my front door and bruce will be running at me full speed and wanting to bite me. sure I think of that. I want to see my parents again and give my mom and dad a hug. I think about these things and then I think about what I came here to accomplish. People say “take a year off” and go to Europe and shit. Maybe that is what I have done here in the back of my mind, but I know I don’t want to take this time off. I want to work, I want to help. I keep trying and trying and nobody is here to help me. I should correct that statement. There are people here to help me and I know eventually I will be able to do these things. Unfortunately it just takes a really long time to get the ball rolling here. This place is completely different. I used to think all people were the same. Now I know that all people are the same in some regards and completely different in others. I could go home right now and enjoy my bed with my parents and my dog. I could get a job and move on from this place. I cant leave here yet. I don’t know what I exactly mean by that.
