So far

Alright so basically I just got over being sick with a sore throat. I'm feeling a bit better now but I'm still just taking it easy. I miss having free pizza at my disposal, oreos and cookies and milk, hot water with water pressure, a car, suburban traffic, no school, guitars, taco bell and not worrying about getting robbed. Things I don't miss include texting nonstop, staying up til 4 am every night, delivering pizza, stress, english, etc. Things I like here: being the minority, being the tallest, always getting looks on the bus like I'm about to be sized up for a fight cause I'm a tall lanky blonde american that some people think has no business in this country (it makes me feel tough), the sun waking me up at a reasonable time, having two too cute dogs, spanish, learning italian in spanish, my friends here, always having something to do, the occasional cerveza with food, cheap food for like three dollars for a full meal, THE MCBACON (so delicious), learned to not hate mayo, doing things i wouldn't dream of trying in the US, walking around downtown and going out with friends, learning about a new culture, eating healthy food that is not processed at all (i'm looking at you american food industries), being careless, seeing an entire city outside of my window, hanging out with friends on top of my roof, seeing mountains wherever you go, going into the mountains with like 45 other kids at a rented house provided by the school and hanging out all day, and lastly the possibilities. You wake up, go to class and have no idea what you're going to learn, eat, do after class, or anything. Someone say hey we're doing this you wanna come or you suggest something random and every body is down. Also, playing football is way more fun than I ever imagined. It's a great place to say the least and I'm loving it here. I'm sure I'll miss home soon but for now I haven't thought too much about it. Hope all is well for anyone back in the states!
