Today I realized that Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. My family usually takes a road trip to my grandparents’ house in the country and stays there for the week relaxing, eating delicious food, and going into one of my favorite towns in the world. It’s such a peaceful time of love and relaxation. This…

It’s not Thanksgiving Day yet, but you might’ve guessed this post was coming at some point. I want to talk about things I’m thankful for, partly because I had a very lazy day with not much to mention, and partly because I just think it’s good to consider what you’re thankful for.

This morning I woke up generally relaxed. I saw the light peak in from our balcony windows in the living room. I made myself a peanut butter and banana toast and had coffee and water to help me be alert for class. And then I took one of the hardest tests I’ve ever taken. For…

The threshold between feeling that there is an eternity until I get to come home again and feeling that there is far too little time left of this trip is a delicate tightrope. To my right is one way of being, and to my left is the other. For weeks, if you’ve been reading this,…

What a warm welcome home from this weekend. Today I spent lots of time with really good company, ate great food, and learned a lot about Spanish. First, I had my literature midterm. It was pretty difficult, and the grading depends entirely on what the professor will give me credit for. I know I did…
