Wow! So today is our first day with internet back at the house, my first day back at work, and the day I finally got money back from the bank after it was all stolen from my account. Being back in the United has been...an experience. It was fun and exciting at first..I loved seeing friends and family, moving back into my house, sleeping in my bed, unpacking my suitcase, cooking for myself..but now the reality is setting in. And responsibilities are moving in. I have very mixed emotions. I loved my time in South America and really started establishing a life there. It was, and still is, to have been taken away from it and placed so far away. I now have far too many good friends that live far too far away. I miss them, my Valdivian family, the slow lifestyle that lets you enjoy the life you experience anew each day. I comfort myself knowing I will be back there soon.
School starts in a week here and I am taking three classes in Spanish which is good because for as much trouble and head ache it gave me sometimes, I really miss speaking Spanish every day.
I'd like to write a post summing up my experiences and feelings, but not today. I'm still sorting them out..
love to everyone I've met and said goodbye to..we will see each other again soon
