School school school and work and school. But that comes with the territory. The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that I have not slept completely through the night since I have been back here. I will wake up at least twice every night for no explicable reason. It's getting to the point where I am tired the next day.
Being a junior is a lot harder. I keep thinking I have the hang of things and then I get an ass load of homework and I realize "wow, this is more than last year." Or maybe I'm being whiny.
But I am very happy to be involved with Latinas Unidas again. I missed them and I missed feeling apart of a community that speaks spanish and understands a different side of me than others do. The other day I went to get my oil changed with my friend Jessica and the guy was flirting with us because he remembered me from a previous car inspection. He heared us speaking to one another and came over. He was like "Speak Spanish to me." Jessica gave him a a wonderfully whithering glare and said "I'm not a sideshow freak," and then turned to me and said that he wanted to her to speak spanish out her ass. I laughed and asked him how he didn't know that we were saying something bad about him? That got him away pretty fast.
As always, I am happy, but feel torn. I want my birthday week to come so I can return home. I have to find the balance between looking forward and being here right now.
