Well.. it's almost over.
I can officially say i leave next week... and i don't want to. Next weekend i will be in Port Huron.. ugh. the thought makes me feel sick.. haha, not that i HATE home.... i am just not ready to go home. I'm not ready to go back to "life" i guess. This whole semester has kind of just felt like an on going break. Don't get me wrong, learning spanish and being thrown into a whole different way of life wasn't easy by ANY means.. but things are just so relaxed here, i haven't had NEARLY as much homework, i've had more time to get to know people and hang out with peopel and explore and just have free time,i NEVER got that at calvin.
Its just basically been really amazing
I'm ridiculously excited to see my family and friends.. i cant even explain to you how excited i am. But the thought of not being able to quick walk somewhere, or the thought of not going to the beach after comida, or not being able to go walking down marcos de campo, or going to get coffee, or "group studying", or going to tracy's for a barbecue.... uughhh. i'm going to be so lonely and bored.. haha
I know i'll have my friends at home in PH who i've missed SO SO much, liek everyone else in the states.. but i can't talk spanish to them... or learn knew words with them.. who am i going to talk to?
Aj and i were talking about going home today. and we almost cried like little girls.. thats how i feel now. I'll stop this entry now.
haha
Today i had the idea of writing one thing i missed about spain each day i was home.. then i realized that was an awful idea.... but i'll probably do it any way.:)
oo i have an idea.. how about a list of 10 things i can think of right now that i WILL NOT miss about spain.
in no particular oder.....
1) my host mother doubting my spanish or my knowledge.. ESPECIALLY when i'm saying what I mean to say.. and she STILL "corrects me"
2) the amount of food i have to eat.. because if i don't that CLEARLY means i don't like it and the cook is a horrible cook... obviously......
3) The worst drivers on the face of the earth
4)people having fiestas.. ALL THE TIME.. like at 5 in the morning.. in the calle... below my window...
5) a pile of vomit SOMEWHERE in my walking path at least once a week. and/ or dog poop.. because why would a dog EVER poop on grass? how preposterous .
6) the internet/ its unreliability
7)spanish cell phone service.. i hate you movistar
8) pig legs everywhere ( all ham really..) and my food having a head and eye balls when its served to me. ( come lo! come lo!.. todo?.. si todo!) no! i will never again eat fish heads, or rip open the body of a sea creature with 30 legs, never again
9) "tsst tsst" i will now cringe or jump every time i hear this noise
10)motos.. your are in fact a vehicle and you do in fact need a drivers license.. which means you know there are at least SOME laws you have to follow. you are not a pedestrian.. as much as you wish you were.. i dont like the feeling of risking my life every time i cross the road because YOU feel you dont have to follow automobile laws
the end for now. I'll do one more entry before i leave probably.. and it will probably include my final essay for class. its a 'reflection' paper. ooooo.
adios.
