Settling In

Today I went to the infirmary to see if I could get my retainer fixed. The false tooth that was attached to the retainer broke off two days ago. All that happened was a referral to the dentist on Friday and an hour-long wait. I hope things will be fixed soon because my teeth look silly and will start crowding soon.

One thing is for sure: the food here is better than anywhere else so far. It actually looks and tastes like (or at least close to) what the menu says it is. Everywhere else the food has been bland or nauseating.

Because I didn't do anything during the day except read and sleep, I went to volleyball at rec tonight. It will be a while before I get used to playing again, that's for sure. At least I'm not absolutely terrible.

I'm really looking forward to mail catching up with me, though. I really need some paper to reply to people. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to commissary this week so I can restock. I didn't realize how much I needed the constant encouragement of friends, family, and C.. I'm so blessed to have so much support.
