3 finals down.... one more to go...
im excited for winter break... my aunt and her husband are coming to visit from colombia for the first time!! it's a blessing really because it takes years for anyone to get a visa and come here. when i went to colombia in the summer, it was nice seeing all my family again (i have a big family, my parents are both from a family of 12 siblings... imagine that!)CRAZY! i love them tons, but at the same time i still felt awkward because basically all the conversation was you graduated?... sweet... what are you gonna study.. blah blah... i felt like a stranger with my own family. my grandpa is 88 years old... i wish i could have spent more time with him when i was younger and listen to what his childhood was like and old folk tales, i don't know when i'll see him again... i wish i could have spent more time with my cousins to have a stronger bod with them and know them a little better than just the surface of their lives... i wish i could spend time with my grandmother and learn how to cook all the yummy food she makes when we go and visit and learn some of the crafts she does...i wish i had the awesome accents colombians have... but i dont.
i'm happy for who i am and where i come from... i just wish i could have lived there and experienced life as a colombian.
im bored at school and i'm reminiscing...
i want to see the nutcracker!!!!
ok im done.
