This afternoon Darcia, Dawnelle, and I waited around hoping that Kadian (pronounced sort of like “Katie-Ann”) would arrive. We all talked about napping but didn’t want to be a snoozing welcome party. Instead, Darcia and I talked about all sorts of foods which seems to be a favorite topic in our house. Dawnelle worked on twisting her hair and joined in our conversation every now and then. Eventually we got too hungry to wait any longer and started cooking our very first real meal at our house. Mac & cheese, apples, cucumber slices, tortillas, and chili beans that Miss Myla brought over for us (she is awesome, huh?). A rather odd combination of foods but oh so wonderful and exciting compared to the cereal and jelly covered toast we had been living off of. Just as the water was coming to a boil for the mac & cheese we heard a car stop outside. Kadian had finally arrived!!! We all rushed out to greet our new roommate. It doesn’t take more than a few moments to realize that Kadian is full of energy and laughs . Plus, she has an awesome English-Jamaican accent. She had a long trip here and had quite the trouble finding Miss Norma and her husband at the airport. After going to an internet café, changing money, and taking a taxi to the bus stop, they finally got ahold of her and told her to wait there; consequently, she is quite exhausted tonight (not to mention the time difference!). Tomorrow we will all hopefully find out what classes we are teaching, and we will most likely really hopefully have internet at our house!
