Routine

So we've been here for a week, and it's starting to feel a bit more comfortable.  Our day-to-day life has kind of began developing a routine, (in a good, not completely confused way, not a bad, dull way).  My host family has been going through a lot of serious, personal drama, which would have happenned regardless of my presence, but which I can't help but feel a little guilty over.  Inste
