the last few weeks
have been a blur
kind of having a tough time adjusting back to life in decatur...people who go out go home very early, a lot of people are closed minded, and it's a small town in comparison to Madrid's bustling livliness. but it's home...and so good to see people.
i do not want to lose my spanish, at any cost. trying to practice whenever i can
helped out at Crossroads this weekend. didn't realize i'd be there 15 hours a day. but it was worth it. i love that team. and it was fun...minus the incredible storms. a man today had a seizure...very scary especially cause i was right next to him when he fell. i realized what a great family i have though. i've had so much fun with my brothers and sisters lately.
finishing up my holocaust class. 2 papers down, 2 to go.
and i got roped into doing the triathalon next weekend, at least the swimming part of it (3/4 mile). not bad except i havent really been training at all..and i've never swam open water, not to mention they just found a dead body in there under the course track that had been there for 11 years...but whatever. it'll be fun.
hmm...other than that, i'm finally finally content. i have a direction i'm going in, i know where i want to go to grad school, i'm comfortable with who i am and i've started standing up for myself. spain made me grow up a lot but it also gave me a lot of confidence. lessons learned:)
that is all!
