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 adapt again.
so now, i am in the end. and it feels like the beginning. or something like that. i guess that it really feels like i am just beginning. you know? like really, the first eight months were just practice. and now i have this real life, and i only get to live it for three months.
so great. but really, it is so great. and there are these people here and now maybe we are real friends. and it is more than pretending to like something to be friends. i mean, it is realer now. and better. and things always get better. at ever stage in this exchange i thought that things couldn’t improve. and every moment i thought that things wouldn’t change anymore, but they always do, and if you embrace them they always change for the better.
this weekend we had a bunch of afs stuff, so that was pretty fun. it is nice to get together with all of the kids sometimes. it was actually so great! it was like the national gathering of all of the guachos in all of argentina. it was nice to do something so typical of argentina. it felt real.
i guess that is more or less what i want to say. that it all feels real now. and sometimes you get angry with people, but that happens because you are friends. so i guess that this is more or less the end, and 100 days is enough, but it isn’t that much.
and great, it is all so great. so this is where i live, and sometimes i go to the movies and i take the bus at least five times a day, and i drink a lot of instant coffee.
and there is more, because there is always more to life. but there is nothing more so important, because the truth is that nothing is so important.
and ann arbor will be there in 100 days and so i will i and we will all see each other and we will all miss something.
