i just wrote 'el 5 de noviembre' (november 5th) on top of a paper for my spanish class tomorrow, and i am overwhelmed at the fact that it is already november. i leave for chile in exactly two months from yesterday--january 3rd. this is crazy. right now i'm sitting in my sunroom, in my apartment in chicago, listening to kanye west and arcade fire, sipping peppermint tea, and working on homework. in two months i will be in the home of a family i've never met, listening to a language i don't speak fluently, surrounded by people i don't know, eating food and drinking drinks i've never tried or heard of, in a city of which i've only seen a few pictures.
how am i honestly supposed to do my homework right now? it's hard to think that it matters knowing that...it doesn't. these papers i have to write will be the last thing on my mind in two months.
and how am i supposed to continually love and be around the amazing people around me like it'll always be this way, knowing that it won't? what a weird state to be in.
i'm neither here nor there.
alas, the learning must continue.
why do i only post when i have the most work to do? i'm noticing up a bad trend...
