Would I be out of line if I said I miss you?
So mid-terms are this week, meaning we are in the middle of our time here. I haven't noticed I was very homesick lately which was nice, except randomly the other night after Laura and I watched Spanglish. I don't know what provoked it really. Homesickness abroad is different from homesickness when I'm at State I've found, too. I guess because it's easier to just call someone up if I miss them.
Then, today I got a surprise package from my Grandma. I definitely wasn't expecting a package from her but it was very sweet. In the package there was a card and as soon as I read it I started crying. It's weird what will set me off because I wasn't sad or homesick or anything at all, and then all the sudden there it was again. It just was a picture of a dog laying there and it said "I'll be here waiting...missing you". She said in the card that she misses me a lot and that our favorite waiter at The Wheel Inn asked about me and said to tell me hello. I guess it's not only that I'm homesick, but its nice to know people are thinking about you, even people who hardly know you. That people care about me and miss me like I miss them. I never thought I'd miss Michigan so much. I always like it when I'm there for the most part, but when I get back there will definitely be a whole new appreciation. I miss my Grandma a lot. It was weird that I got a package from her because I had a weird dream last night about being at my Grandpa's grave which was random.
Anyway, I realize I don't make much sense when I write anymore, or talk. I don't know what it is but I feel like I'm becoming more stupid here. I don't know if it's the drinking or what. However, I'm starting to enjoy my time more here in Valencia and catching on to more things, but I can't wait to come home and have Olive Garden and sweet tea from McAllister's and see my Grandma on the weekends and catch up with everyone I am missing. <3
