You believe it?
5 days makes 3 months that I´ve been away from home, away from the language, the food, the cars, the liberty, and of course, all the people I love. From all that i´ve been surrounded by since infancy...never before have I been away for more than 7 weeks...and here I am...doubling that in just a few weeks....and more than quadrupling it by the time I get home....
At this point I´m homesick intermitantly...the christmas season doesn´t help anything...that old Presley song "Blue Christmas" is basically my anthym at this point...seeing as....well it doesn´t snow here and it´s so cold in the mornings that the fields look blue with all the ice while I walk to school....annnnnd there´s snow in Chicago...yet not here....so yes...y´all will be okay with your christmas of white....but me, I´ll be missin everyone with my blue christmas....
haha depressing
but most of the time I still manage to be in pretty good spirits :D
so yea don´t think i´ve become all emo and whatnot over here....it´s just a tad hard being away from home...and some things are harder to let go of than I would have thought...and that just makes existence over here all the more uncomfortable...
=/
but hey hey hey now...now I´m depressing myself...haha okay lets be happy
so on saturday i get to see a pig killing! :D
despite the fact that i´m sure this is going to gross out a lot of people back home and make them wonder at my sanity and morality
hey...i like Bacon...and a lot of things that come from pork...and i duno...tho I feel kinda bad for the pig....I´m genuinly excited to go see the pig killing....hahahaha...blame my parents...something just probably went wrong while i was little that they haven´t told anybody about...and that´s why i´m this weird....
Beyond that I´ve been quite excited to get a package from aunt jenny and company and to have gotten a letter from uncle david and aunt meg, and to be getting a visit from my dad during the holidays :P
that´ll be really nice :)
and It´ll be nice to get out of Aranda...get a breath of fresh air and see what the rest of Spain is like :D
School is something that´s more frustrating and monotonous every day...but soccer is still going well...adn I´m still getting along with people pretty well
The gypsies have settled down a little bit for various reasons....which I may write about at a later date but as is I don´t have a whole lot of time to finish this :(
mmmm so I feel like this is a depressing blog entry and for that I apologize....but hey...I´ll write something more upbeat later...and I´m not crying myself to sleep or anything...so no worries :P
talk to you all soon
Your....friendly blogger?
