Busy Busy Busy

Real quick update since I really need to go to sleep! I have SO much to do in the next 2 days, but then it's vacation time! Followed by my first test next week. . .and a half marathon that has definitely not been properly prepared for (did I run today? no, do I have time to run tomorrow? no. . .oh gosh)

First off, housing sitch. For the first time since getting down here, I feel ready to move out of my homestay. A few reasons: in the past week, I have noticed my host mom smokes. I don't know when it started or whether it just did, but it definitely bothers me. Another, the past two nights she hasn't prepared dinner (or once, which is really just putting bread and butter and jelly on the table). Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I'm paying $20 a day right now for things like this. Today I had cereal at 1030 for dinner once I realized it wasn't coming. Another: she took my clothes to wash them on Saturday and I still only have half of them back, while the other half sit waiting to be finished and returned. Not only do I need my clothes to wear them, but I need to pack them! Overall, my homestay has been great but it will be nice to be in charge of my own life again come Thursday.

Speaking of Thursday, I NEED TO PACK! When? No idea! Late tomorrow night or Thursday morning I suppose (although I MUST run Thursday morning).

Yesterday i really didn't do much besides pretend I was being productive packing and really only grab my suitcase from the closet. I did skype with Elisa which was really great!

Today, I went to class and tried the Mexican food cart on campus that was actually impressively good, although my stomach may have forgotten how to handle Mexican food if evidenced correctly from lunch and this afternoon. Then I saw How to Train Your Dragon with Gina and returned home and skyped with Jess, which was nice to catch up and just talk and let all my feelings out to someone who I know will listen and not just tell me what I want to hear, but rather what I know I should be told.

Tomorrow I start my internship from 920-410 with a break in the middle plus lunch. Then I have my first tandem meet up with Catalina in Bellas Artes and then a quick skype date with Malia before heading out to dinner with Lindsey, Lauren, Kathryn, Ariel, and Gina! Then it'll be pack pack pack, sleep, run, pack, move, and leave for the long weekend!

Busy Busy Busy!
