so close to feeling close to the end
so, in reality, two months is a long time.
you can do a lot in sixty days. and meet a lot of new people, and learn a lot of new things, and read a lot of new books, play a lot of chess, but these last 60 days feel so unimportant. so short, and meaningless, so waiting.

so this is what life feels like
wow. i have about 100 more days in argentina. that fact still catches me off guard. i would be lying if i told you that the months flew by, because that is not true. they were long, and sometimes a little hard, but now they are gone.
and i go home in about 100 days. and i will see all of your faces, and we will hug and talk and rejoice. and my life will be in english, and we will all need to...

san juan here i come!
Hello! I just received my host family information! They seem lovely. I am going to be living in San Juan next year, and I really cannot even believe it. Everything in my life right now feels like a dream because I know that in less than 3 months, this will not be my life anymore. And that is a weird feeling. I have been emailing my host sister, Victoria. She seems so nice. My host family...
