Finally

I am here, yes, here, as opposed to there, where I've been for the last 3 weeks.

If that made any sense to you, then I congratulate you.
Anyhow, I have finally made it to my new home.
After a month and a half of waiting, 3 weeks of that staying with my family, then 3 more weeks with the lovely bunch of Corazoners I am finally in my new home.
Yes, I will miss all of you, it was tougher than it seemed leaving you all yesterday, but it had to be done. I feared if I stayed any longer I wouldn't be welcome back the next time, hah.
In other news, I like it here. The house is awesome! It has layers....many layers and staircases, a great view of the city, a wonderful roof area.
Oh and did I mention the view?
I don't know what it is about the city sometimes, but occasionally I find myself more at peace here in the city, as opposed to being out of the city and in the country.
Can anything be too relaxing for you sometimes? I felt that way when I first got to the Corazones home, I thought it felt too relaxing. But it was good, I enjoyed myself there, had fun and all that. I will be posting the few pictures I have of a few of us girls that went out one night, that was pretty fun.

This last freeday that I had was...well, interesting. I woke up with waaay too much energy on my hands and a desperation to get off of the property and out somewhere. So after much bouncing around and telling people that I needed to get out of the house or else I'd go insane, I finally got Christina to take me to Tepo where we walked around some and got tacos and icecream. It was definately what I needed to relax myself. I was actually able to sit down for more than 5 minutes when I got back home...that was a feat in itself because for the last couple of days before that I had trouble even doing that. Maybe it was because all of the girls ditched me for Acapulco and left me defenseless against all the guys. Boy, was I glad when the girls got back though....
I'll definately miss all of them, a great home it is, but just don't think its for me.

Sworn Enemies

I have officially come to the conclusion that knives and I just don't get along.
This is the third time I've cut myself in the last 2 weeks, and always when I'm least expecting it.
I'm cutting and onion, and wham, I slice my finger up. Lettuce...the same thing except its deeper this time and more annoying.
Then today I was just minding my own business, trying to be a help and wash all the dishes that are in the dish area to get it a bit cleaner and less work for after lunch and again I cut myself.
I'm jinxed....I don't think I should be using knives anymore, cause the next thing that could happen is I accidentally slit my wrists or something...then I'd really be in a pickle.

Lord help me

It was good

Well, feastings over, it ended last night.

It was relaxing, I'll say that much, very relaxing and I enjoyed it very much, I didn't get a chance to read everything there was, but what I read was very inspiring. I will be working on the other letters slowly but surely just to make sure I get the most out of them.

The theme of the ending of the feast night 'party' for the girls of the home here was 'crazy/ugly', and the adults it was 'hippie', I don't think there was a theme for the guys... It turned out to be very interesting, very bottle breaking. I had a lot of fun. For drinks we had Margaritas and Pina Coladas, I prefer the margaritas, I'm not so into the coconut taste in the pina coladas. Anyhow, it was fun, for the most part. I had a great time laughing, I don't know about anybody else though. heh...I'll post some pics as soon as I get my hands on them...if thats ever going to happen.

On another note, today I spent the whole day out busking with the people here. Seeing as I had no chance to practice the songs, and didn't know hardly any of the dances to them, I thoroughly embarrassed myself.
I must say it was fun though. I had a good laugh, everyone else had a good laugh and we all got along.
I sold 3 cds all by my little lonesome...ok I had help from the heavenlys, but yeh, I don't speak so much spanish, so that was a feat in itself.
I'm proud of myself, now don't go tearing me down with saying how many cds you can get out, when you speak more spanish than I do.

Ok, I'll be quiet, I'm obviously talking to myself here.

Anyhow, I have no idea what I'm going to be doing tomorrow, but it holds promise for something interesting, I can tell you that much, cause its the Corazones home.

Note to self:
Buy popcorn or some kinda munchies, so I can sit back and enjoy the soap opera that is called 'Life in the Corazones Home'.
(Its really not that bad, I just dubbed it that today, cause I'm so used to living in home with not as many young people and everything.)
