Wow.... this month has really flown by. Especially the last week or so. Tonight I didn't feel like going dancing or to the pub or bar because my body needs a break. And, I'm just not really in the mood. Tomorrow I'm going to have a cookout with Jose's family and another family that I'm close with... and I think it will be the last time that I see them & today I ate dinner with the Fuentes family.... I leave Tuesday afternoon for Santiago, Viña del Mar, & Valparaiso so it's hitting me that I'm not going to get these moments back.
For any of you that know me really well know that the past year or so of my life has been rather fast-passed and stressfull. Work...school....ski team.... relationship.... This has been the perfect relaxer for me. I've been able to unwind and really have fun. No responsibilities no obligations. And I've come to appreciate every single moment because life is too short. I had one month here and I can honestly say that I did everything I possibly could. I went surfing, parachuting, to parties with a lot of different people.... I was homesick one day/night and only was bored for 2 afternoons. As I reflect on my time here, I can't recollect much time spent sleeping. Everyday I did something different. I'm really proud of myself for actually "livin' it up" as much as I possibly could....
At least Patti & I are coming back here for Spring Break.... that makes things a little easier for me to say good-bye to my friends and new families here....
