Jenna's first week of school!!

Only one more day and Jenna has completed her first week of school here in America. She is finally getting the hang of it. Lots of homework and long days. She misses having a different schedule everyday and the opportunity to finish her homework in class. She has met a few kids but hasn't really gotten to know them outside of her classes. Everyone here has a different schedule so she doesn't have them in all her classes. So different from the school in Holland. But she has met some nice kids she says. Of course they can't compare to the ones she left behind. Plus the poor kid had to get shots yesterday. Apparently the shots in Holland are different here so she had to get 3 shots yesterday and has to go back in a month and get another one. She had to get a new Tetanus booster, Hepatitis B and Meningitis. She was very brave when those firemen came at her with 3 needles! Then she had to come home and finish her homework. She would have prefered playing with Papa Jim and Emmalee. Her room is coming together nicely. We picked up a tv for her tonight so she will be able to watch her own programs and avoid all the baseball games, and other sporting events that Papa Jim loves.
For all of you asking about her Mom (ME). I am doing okay. Just as homesick as she seems to be at times. I am working part-time now. I am going to start looking for a car this weekend and still looking for a more permanent job. I have talked to and seen a couple of my old friends here, too bad they live so far away. Still trying to get my head around the idea that this is going to be "home" and that is isn't going to include James until Christmas and then that is only for a few weeks. But I am hanging in there. If Jenna can do it so can I. Still working on those pictures I promised you... Maybe this weekend. Who knows.
