Let the countdown begin

In all reality this semester has really flown by. But I am so ready for my break. This semester has been very difficult for me. I don't feel like I have been fully acclimated to living in the Dominican Republic yet. This country is very uncomfortable to live in. It is extremely hot, traffic is a nightmare, the electricity goes out on a daily basis for hours and the list goes on. Aside from the horror of living in the country I have had several personal issues as well. For one, I broke my foot half way through the semester and the Dominican Republic is not very accommodating to handicapped individuals. Secondly, my living situation is not the most ideal. I live with 3 roommates who are great individuals but it has been difficult to live with them to say the least. I realize that this post has been full of complaints and I apologize but this is my outlet. On a positive note, my plane ticket has been purchased and come December 12Th I'll be out of here! I am going to take advantage of my month in the states to drink as much Starbucks as possible and to sort out some thoughts. I would really like to move into a new place come next semester so lets see what I manage to come up with. It is comforting to know that a lot of my classmates have been feeling the same way and this winter break is a well deserved one for all of us. 19 more days to go! PS: Does anyone read this?
