Right now I'm wallowing and I don't like it. I'm listening to ChiChi Peralta on repeat and missing Costa Rica. Reading emails from home and feeling sorry for myself because I'm missing the big family holidays again. Seeing pictures from all over and knowing how much work it's going to take to get there ( Read more... )

I had so many things from yesterday and today that I wanted to talk about, but now that I'm home (and showered up) I can't think of anything ( Read more... )

It really is ridiculous, I know, but every once in a while I get these flashes where I'll just be talking or reading, or listening to music, and then I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of despair ( Read more... )

Well, there went another day. The only real highlight was finding about half of the Spanish songs that I've desperately been searching for, but even I know that that isn't enough to count the day in the win column.

I guess I also got pictures of the pretty shirts I bought in Costa Rica uploaded here, but I gave up on trying to post the pictures ( Read more... )

I really do hate Rapidshare. I really do. Why does it have to be the preferred method in my new favorite... websites. That don't do anything wrong at all. Nevermind ( Read more... )

I'm back, I guess. It almost doesn't feel like my life, but I'm slowly adjusting back into the real world.

Today's my half birthday. Which is something surprisingly difficult to explain in Spanish- the whole traditions from grade school and all. People here think I'm crazy ( Read more... )

Now my dad is gone. And I understand what was making me upset, too: when my mom came it was because she wanted to see me- the "vacation" part was just a bonus. My dad was just looking for a vacation, which just so happened to be where I am at the moment. I know I've never been as close to my dad as my mom, but it still kind of stings a little bit ( Read more... )

I haven't gotten on to LJ in what seems like forever. I feel really out of touch. Hmm ( Read more... )

Wow. It's been a long time. Even though I end up checking email about once a week, I never seem to sit down and go through LJ, or even write anything longer than a few lines. Partially because I think that I'm boring and have nothing to write about, partially because I sit down at the keyboard and either blank out or start to become really homesick ( Read more... )
