"It's Nice to Meet You"

Hello again. And so soon I know! Well I figured if I write tiny ones more often I won't have to right such huge ones and those take forever. Today was my first day working in the kitchen and I love it! It is so fun and such a great group of people. I woke up at 7am. and Caro and I went to a staff devotional in the morning in the amazing staff room where I met some more staff members! Which was exciting. Then I went to the kitchen, ate my breakfast and sat with some interesting lovely people and then it was off to the kitchen to do my work!
So I got huge muscles chopping up 3 huge blocks of chocolate, then I got extremely emotional while peeling and shredding the onions. I don't think I have ever felt such pain. But needless to say I entertained my fellow kitcheners. Got some more muscles chopping carrots and cucumbers, got wrinkly as fingers doing the dishes and then it was lunch time! A stampede of hungry 18-25 year olds flood into the dining hall and we eat the beautiful meal. :D then it was time to clean up! Only after each meal the students come and help in the kitchen doing the dishes. I swear it felt like there were 50 people in the tiny room doing the dishes.
So I go shown around by Katrine while everyone else did the work :) So there is this basement they call 'the deep basement'.. I know it even jsut sounds creepy. But I like could totally image like people getting smuggled or hiding illegal things down there. First off, the basement is creepy enough. You go down these concrete stairs into a concrete room where everything smells like concrete. Then you go to the far corner of the room and there are 5 more stairs leading to this wooden tiny as door and you as you enter 'the deep basement' you flick the light on that is hardly a light at all, its like this dim glow and there is a barred window and it doesn't even smell like concrete. It just smells like deep darkness. It is amazing. So that was exciting!
 Then Kendra and I went to the town market and looked around. I generally good day! Oh and referring to my blog title.. I have said "Nice to meet you" seriously 50 times today. I never want to say it again. The only reason people say it is to take some of the awkwardness after you introduce yourself to someone away. Cause really, no one is going to say, "I really hated meeting you". That is just my 2 cents for the day :) Have a good one! And thanks for reading :)
