Sentimental Sally…

So I would be lying if I said I haven’t been getting excited about finishing this program, going home, or as I (and a few others have been saying) “getting back to real life"… But last night as I was sitting in the living room with Laura and Edson teaching her how to use her new iPod Nano and the three of us were laughing and comparing musical tastes I started to get sentimental. You don’t really realize (or at least I don’t… I had a class once where it was a cardinal sin to speak in generalizations for others) how accustomed to this situation, however different it may be, you have become. Sure it seems like I arrived here only a few days ago (time flies, right?) but part of me has really adjusted to the Spanish thing… I’m not saying, by any means, that I’ve forgotten how to live in the US nor am I saying that I would like to move here (as some people have said) but just that I’m starting to realize just how great this whole experience has been. Despite the bumpy moments, despite the little idiosyncrasies I’ve come to really like it here (on most levels… I am still really bored with the classes, etc. but you get the idea…) I’m sure Laura (and Edson by proxy) and I will keep in touch and I’m sure I’ll be back here at some point, but hey, only time will tell.

So this has been my sentimental moment as I sit here in my bed at 10:10am sipping my tea about to begin my day…
