Un Mes

Only one month left in the Dor. I'm having such a hard time grasping that concept. I put so much effort into making this my home in the beginning and really investing here, and I must have done a darn good job, because I'm not ready for it to be over.

Don't get me wrong I miss home, and family, and friends...but this feels like home and family and friends too (in a different way, but still). But hey, one month is still a long time, and I've got plenty to aprovechar (take advantage of good things)!

(the following lists are in no particular order)

Things I miss from home:

-Davis library (nerd alert. don't care.)

-not eating rice at every meal

-the Pit/quad/arboretum/Franklin/UNC!!

-cheddar cheese

-basketball

-family/friends/community (obviously)

-Summit church

-days without rain

-quiet--the city is loud.

-being a "normal" height

-sarcasm

Things I'm going to have a hard time saying adios to:

-espanol...mucho espanol

-a ton of fresh fruit every day

-walking everywhere

-beautiful bus ride to school

-living on the equator--getting to skip winter

-mountains

-the cutest baby brother ever

-rooftop jam sessions

-patacones, ahi, llapingachos, chifles, te manzanilla, ...

-lunch for 2$

-traveling every weekend

-being 30 min. late and still being "on time"

-having a fairly easy workload at la universidad

-constant adventure

-being a gringa

Song of the day: U Smile--Justin Bieber

Playing on repeat. #notashamed
