As I was walking home from school tonight, I looked around at the shops, the river, and the mountains in the distance and felt comfortable. I spent the last week looking forward to my family coming to visit. It was like the big mile marker that I couldn't wait to get to, but on the other hand was dreading because that meant: I stay here for 2 months without them. But on my way home, it was suddenly okay that they had gone and I had not. I am on a once in a life time adventure and I am excited to learn as much as I can, meet new people, and experience this summer to the fullest...even if it means doubling my school loans in a couple of months. (ouch!!!!)
I came home exhausted, thinking I would go straight to sleep. I talked with Abby for about an hour about everything from the gay community here (which is very little) to teen suicide...weird topics, I know. She made curry for dinner. It's the first time I've ever had it. Very unique taste and good.
I cleaned my room, completely spotless and put on the mattress pads. They were not easy to fold! and the little mattress cover ripped every time I touched it. It might be going back for a return in August, but for now, it's on my bed. I searched craigslist and found a full down feather pillow topper for $30. ugh! When I was cleaning my room, I found a hotel card...I think that's when it actually hit me that I didn't have my family visit to look forward to anymore.
I sat in my room on my computer most of the night, wishing I had enough energy to go on a walk. I needed to get some stuff done, though: find a tripod, a lens, upload a photo assignment, and probably a few other things that I didn't do. Actually, it's 11:15 and I haven't really accomplished a single one....but I started a BLOG ha!
Tomorrow I have a fun class in the morning, get to go out and take pics in the afternoon, and a BBQ for all the students after school.
Listening to really good music tonight: Shine Your Light On Us. Robby Shaey Band
Love you guys!
