dios mio

I keep having these wild dreams at night and I wake up not knowing where I am. It makes this new life even more surreal and makes paying attention in class even harder. Which is superb because there is no spacing out here. On campus it was so easy (sorry Mom and Dad, but it is true. I still learn a lot.) 

We have been booking trips to these crazy awesome places all over Europe— Lisbon, Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Paris. I am so glad I worked a ton this summer but when all is said and done I know I did not make enough. Money is something I really hate thinking about and it feels like the stock market in here when people are planning. Who wants Paris for 150 euros???? Yea yea yea!!! and other cities over and over and over and over again. 

My head is spinning. And then there's next years housing to think about and homework and missing family and understanding the language...

Good news though. Tendonitis seems to be gone and I am running again. That huge hole in my everyday is gone. That is one thing of which I can be sure of these days. But outside in the morning it sometimes smells like rotten eggs and industrialization. I miss los lagos de ND..
