Today the weather wasn't unbearably hot and humid like it has been every day since I arrived. The weather was 77 when I went to work today at 3pm and when I was off at 7, a nice breeze was blowing making me change my mind about taking the bus home. I decided to walk and stop in shops along the way. I bought some large potatoes and some leafy greens from a few vendors off the street and wandered into an accessory shop. I don't take too much time out to fix my hair for class so it's usually a huge fro. I went into the shop and the shopkeeper spent 10 mins combing through her stock to find a clip that could accommodate my thick hair. Usually I do not have any patience for that and if I was in the US I would have left politely. But since I can't make small talk I suffer through it just to be nice. Good thing I did. I bought a nice clip and she even gave me a free hair tie. I think she thought my hair was a mess and wanted to help as much as she could. Nevertheless I will buy all my hair clips from that store from now on.
I'm just now beginning to become comfortable with my surroundings.
