Hello world!


My name is Lisa. I'm either overweight or underheight, but most people will agree that my legs are little. I will be moving to Dominica--not to be confused with the Dominican Republic!--for school in January.

Well, I’m already perturbed because I am continuously told how naive I’m being about moving to the third world country of Dominica for school. How bad can it be? I know how to hold a skillet and boil water, so I think I’ll live. Besides, there are people who live there. Thus, by extension, I will survive.

In fact, I just perused the wiki page and it reads that ‘Dominica has a relatively large number of centenarians. As of March 2007, there are 22 centenarians out of the island’s almost 70,000 inhabitants—three times the average incidence of centenarianism in developed countries.[16] The reasons for this are the subject of current research being undertaken at Ross University School of Medicine.’ Bam! The locals eat so well, they live longer than us! Look at that!
