Overall, I'm doing better here in terms of thriving, living and experiencing than I initially imagined I would, but it is still difficult. I am nervous all the time, and shy, and awkward, especially when meeting people, pushing my way off of buses, organizing, calling up strangers to ask questions about research projects. Who am I(to do this)? The

ive said this to you so much lately but i love you more then anything.
i keep reading and re-reading what you wrote. it is such a huge experiance.
im sorry i missed your call. i hate my cell phone. when i heard your message i wanted to
drive a stake through my celly-os heart like sim card or drown it in coconut milk.
i think of you several times a day. and you can do anything, tell your school to chill out for sure
and enjoy yourself while doing what you have to do

This is an idle threat and probably inaccurate. Thank you for your comment earlier.

I had to look up Bolivia to see exactly where it is. Last semester the field methods class in my linguistics program studied Aymara, one of the indigenous languages there, with the help of a native speaker. (I didn't take that class but I heard a lot about it from friends.)

I took pictures like I promised I would but they didn't turn out very well so I didn't want to put them in my journal. :/ And then meant to take more pictures but you know how that can be. But it's still on my mental list.

I hope you're having a wonderful time, it sounds amazing (dolphins and crocodiles together? crazy.)

Meghan!!!

It is so, so good to see a post from you :) I want to email you this week and let you know how things have been at Goucher... I've been meaning to write for ages now.

The last lines "it is needed to decide to get up and ask a question, to turn left, to knock on doors that I have never stepped in front of before" are going to be in my head, probably for the rest of the day, because they are written so beautifully.

Meghan! I honestly should make a better effort of trying to keep in contact with you. How have you been?

PS- Whenever you make your way back here, I'll take you to go have some good Chinese food :)
