I have my own room!!

Yes, it's true. For the next two weeks I will not be sharing a room with 4 girls, which is a huge difference from the past month and a half. Our group started billeting today, which is when we go and live with families in the community. The excitement of this, as I stated before, is each of us having our own room and - wait for it - personal space!! Hard to believe... however, the downside is that our big family, the people we spent the entire past month and a half with, is split up. It's going to be soo weird not to be living with 10 other people in a tiny house. Anyway, so that's what we're up to for the next couple of weeks.. We were all a little nervous about billeting and finding out where we'd go, but I think we all got really great places. My billeting house is on the hill over the harbor and there is a beautiful view from the dining room window. And the people I live with seem so awesome. Everyone in town, when they found out where I was going, raved about how lucky I am to be here and how great Eleanor and Alec are (those are my billet 'parents'). So anyway, it should be a very interesting and different two weeks. We've already got a storm brewing and we're worrying about whether or not the power's going to stay. I feel the excitement brewing already. Yippee!
