-so i added pictures that dad wanted to share with his 2 posts. check those out. i'm jealous i couldn't go to nerja too! (also, there is still some thoughts from spain coming from the backseat of the 'moto.')
-also, i'd like to announce to anyone who may come across this...i'd like to say i'm officially homesick. yup. i know i've experienced culture shock. that was the real deal for the first couple of weeks here. and now it's homesickness. the real deal. two months in and here i am. making lists of things i miss about home. to be fair, i made a list of what i'll miss about spain. it's not quite as long, but there are some big things. thanksgiving's right around the corner, too. dun dun dunnnn
no, but really. i don't want anyone thinking i'm taking this adventure for granted. that's what it is, probably my biggest adventure yet.
i just finished the book "tuesdays with morrie" (in english. i know. don't tell anyone.) and morrie talks about how you let yourself feel immersed in whatever emotion, then you know what it feels like, and you can let it go and move on. he let himself feel self-pity and sorry for a little bit every morning. then familiar with that emotion, he can move past it. so...familiar with the aches of homesickness, i'm gonna keep busy (obviously), continue experiencing what sevilla (and other great places) have to offer, then be able to share them with home once i get there.
also, i think i need to swear off michael buble's "home." i did that before. i wouldn't listen to it until i acutally was home, or until december 17th, when the lyrics would be appropriate. but then we went to that concert. and then i listened to it last night. so well...i gotta give it a break.
as much as i'd like to swear off skype, too... i'm not quite that strong. i think that was the root of this homesickness plunge. skyping with friend who sat together on the other end of the call. i realized it's one thing to miss people individually, which i am doing quite passionately. but it's another thing to miss people together, their relationships, how one plays off the other. that's just as important to me. for example....if you watch the office....jim is a great character. dwight is a great character. but their relationship is what really makes the show. all those relationships. michael and toby is another one. (well, then there's andy and kevin who don't need anyone else. they're just the bomb by themselves.)
ok. class time.
can you believe that i couldn't wait for monday to come? who does that?
this girl did. gotta stay busy!
(enjoy the moment)
