I suppose I should update. I managed to finish the errands I needed to, but its was kinda stressful around the house last week and when I left for Matt's there was more tension between Dad and I, which ended in my crying and a few more e-mails working it out. But my time in Columbia was good. It was good to see his family and of course I enjoy spending time with him. Movies and tv and yard work and spanish. I feel so inadequate at spanish and I'm about to leave! Oh well, if all else fails I can study on the plane right? and in my two 3 hour layovers... I'm going to miss him.
I have a web cam though! That'll be great for talking to people since quite a few people have them now. I'll have to be careful not to be on too much so I still get emersed in the language and culture.
This week I still need to pack and study; and now I found out I have to make a trip to Clemson to get my computer fixed. Which will probably mean hanging out there to wait for it to be fixed (if its fixable). Oh well. At least I figured the problem out now before I was in Spain.
(Written about twenty minutes later: YAY! I just found out Sarah is going to Clemson with me to get my computer fixed!! Which also means we're leaving at 7:30 am.....oh well, at least I get to hang out with my sister!!!)
Time seems so short now. Tomorrow I'll spend the day in Clemson, have Thursday with the family, pack Friday morning, relax teh rest of the day and leave Saturday. Into the unknown. Very exciting. It pulls at my adventurous side which seems to have been hiding as of late. I don't know what became of me, I've been so shy in new situations, so fearful of the unknown which is not like me. Hopefully this will rejuvenate me some. I'm excited about traveling and seeing a bit more of the world. I love traveling.
Got some errands done today, cleaned up the garage, hung out with the family and the cats. I took a nice long bubble bath and read. So wonderfully relaxing. Maybe I'll go riding this week. Thankfully all I really have left to do before i leave is the computer, packing, and a dentist appointment..oh and ordering Euros. But none of that should be too bad. I already made a list of all I need to pack. Very detailed list.
Oh! Another one of my friends is engaged!! On of my apartment mates!! I had an idea that it was coming but I was stilll surprised by how soon. I'm so excited for her! He's a good guy. I wish I was still around to hear the stories and be excited with her, but e-mail will suffice.
So how am I? I pretty relaxed and peaceful in Columbia compared to what I have been. I mean, it had its times (like when I checked my e-mail), but it was probably the best emotionally that I've been in awhile. So far it has carried over to being at home today. Hopefully, it will become the norm and get even better.
Alright, I should get sleep so I can wake up and drive bright and early tomorrow. Fun! Have a lovely night.
