Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Ah, my blogger is all in spanish. Oh well. This journal is now for me to post more of feelings than what is happening. The other blog will be for what happens. (once I get my lap top working cause I hate using this computer). So...I love it here, being able to walk places, all the new stuff, the architecture, history, my ¨mom¨. But I miss Matt soo much. Its hard during the quiet times. I´m ok when I´m busy, but when it gets quiet... I´m use to being without my friends or without my family. But not him. ugh. I enjoy hanging out with the other girls, but four of the girls refuse to use Spanish outside of class which makes it hard. Because its hard to start thinking in spanish again after i start speaking in english. So probably, I´ll write this journal in spanish sometimes. My classes are fun adn my professors are hilarious. But one girl is going to drive me insane. I really want to smack her sometimes. The french girl and brazil girl adn one from Massachusetts are cool though. Just the Oregon girls are going to be tough to deal with. There is also a guy from ALaska. Jasmine is in the class with me. Its freezing here and we do not have heat in the apartment so we wear jackets alot. My mom thinks its funny when I huddle by the heater at night =-P I enjoy my host mom. She is very sweet. BUt I can´t wait until I get a cell phone because it is boring in the afternoon adn night when I don´t have anything to do. I live about 20min walk from all the interesting things and even further from the language center and university adn other girls. That part I´m a bit disappointed about, but not terribly. I´m just glad I can walk and I enjoy walking. Its a beautiful walk. For part of it the river is on one side of me and a park is on the other (mom said to not walk there late at night) and when I´m going home the Sierra Nevada is ahead of me. The people here aren´t terribly friendly, but I hope to make friends at the University adn maybe when I go out. We found an IRish pub with Karioke, dancing, and wireless internet. So I may go there sometimes. Things here close down at 8pm but reopen at 11pm. Some places don´t even open until 3am!! So different than the US. Its hard to sleep at night one cause i miss him, but also a highway is out infront of the house which is noisy and the apartment walls are thinner than calhoun and i can hear the people in the apartment next to me talking and moving about. I can also feel all the matttress springs in my bed and tehy dig into me. BUt I have five wonderful blankets which make the bed feel so cozy. Its nice to have my own room as well with a view of the sierra nevada. I put pictures up to make it feel more like home and since it is so small , the few pictures I brought make it feel well decorated and very much my own. Despite everything, I´m very glad to be living where I am.

Vale, ahora necesito cambiar mi mente al español. Tenga un buen día. (yay for spanish keyboards).
