Well it seems that I have jinxed myself. In a letter I wrote: I’m not expecting to have any bad days here.
Today was
my first “bad” day in the two weeks and two days that I’ve been here. Although
I am extremely sick, and the electricity and water don’t seem to want to
function, I can’t help but think that things can always be worse. Fortunately, my
laptop was charged for the first time in its whole life, and so instead of
sitting in complete silence and darkness, I was able to play music on my iTunes
playlist as well as write this blog. Ironically, the song “Rather Be” just came
on…
“We’re a
thousand miles from comfort…” TRUE. But still, things could be worse.
It’s
Friday, I’m hygiene deficient, the stickiness of the heat is making me extremely lethargic and yet I’m still pretty happy with life. Class starts on Monday, and I
couldn’t be happier. I may complain about schoolwork, or having to go to work back home but the truth is I love having a full schedule. When I wake up with the
mindset of “Oh, I don’t have anything to do today…” I feel anxious. I need
these things to occupy my time so that when it comes to the weekend, I can
appreciate that time more.
I hope
everyone back home is enjoying the nice spring weather! I see a lot of smiling
faces over social media due to the climate turn around, and that makes me
happy as well. Although I appreciate the summer weather here, I will be
completely satisfied when it gets a little bit cooler out.
Overall,
I’m going to spend this weekend being a pariah so I can hopefully get better
for school and the Iguazú waterfall trip coming up next weekend! So send good
vibes my way por favor.
