Becoming daily life

Nothing all too eventful has happened this week. School is going fine, a little better but still not great. I have my first quiz on Thursday in Economics (in Spanish) and a test sometime next week in my Evolution of Jazz class (in English!).

With the weekend just two days away all the SNC girls are headed off to Banos for the weekend, our first official "away from home" trip. Everything is pre-planned, pre-paid, and safe. Today I also had to go to the wonderful SuperMaxi store to buy supplies. Shanna and I went after her last class today, while I waited for her I had lunch at a great hamburger place then laid in the awesome hammocks on campus. I had to finally pick up shampoo, conditioner, and things like that because I only brought small containers. I actually found my favorite kind of nail files and only for .90 cents! Shanna bought all junk food and I bought all beauty products...

Last night I had the best dinner of my life. It was fish, I think, BUT it tasted like it swam in butter and not water, in a good way. On top of this buttery fish was bacon... yum. I can't even describe the taste.

I do have to say that I'm getting a little homesick and I feel like it will get worse before it gets better. Unless you have ever been homesick there is no way to comprehend how I'm feeling. The weeks up until yesterday were what the Study Abroad office called the "honeymoon" stage. Only now do I believe them. My life here is becoming just that, life. I miss Ben so much, I see all these couples, including the ones in my house, and wish he was here to experience this with me. As this experience continues I know it will go faster and faster and in the end I will wish that it wouldn't have gone so fast, until then I keep taking one day at a time.
