1) I wake up now at 7 a.m. usually every morning, even when I get the rare chance to sleep in until 8, my body now wakes up at 7:30. So hopefully once I return to the States, I can keep this great habit up :) I have always been a night owl so this is different.
2) I have become content with having a MUCH less busy/hectic lifestyle. At college, I was constantly doing something or always busy and I loved it... here I have a ton more downtime. At first, I hated it because I wasn't sure what to do with myself during the weeks, but I am starting to enjoy it and appreciate it while it lasts. The weekends here are crazy busy but that is all fun stuff :)
3) I have probably eaten more meat here in the past month and a half than I have the past 5 YEARS combined! Crazy right?
4) As far as sweets go, I have not eaten much of those here because my host family NEVER has them so if I wanted something sweet, i'd have to go by it. It is not like home where I can eat what I want pretty much whenever. Therefore, I decided to give up sweets for lent. I am not Catholic, but I thought it would be good to give something up for God. We will see if I can do this, 2 days down and I am already dying haha
Well, those are the biggest changes I have noticed so far :)
Also, my friends and I hiked up a HUGE mountain today! Literally took us about 4 hours to get to the top. There were 3 huge crosses along the way, it was very neat. Some of our friends had to turn back because it was such an exhausting hike.
The second cross we encountered
The girls who made it to the top :)
