Today was a slow day. I woke up at 11am and immediately scrolled through my phone, something I know isn’t very good for people. But then I decided to just read to wake up. When I felt ready a while later, I got some oranges and yogurt for breakfast and then did an hour long,…

The only thought that willed me out of my bed this morning was that I could wear leggings to class and be comfortable. I prioritized sleep over a nice morning because I only had one class today and wasn’t going to get enough sleep otherwise. My class was really interesting today; everyone had to pick…

What’s more important to document in the long run? Thoughts or events? Why not both? //I live here. I was right in assuming sleep would help; I feel much more functional today. And today it set in, finally, that I live here now. It’s not a vacation or a place I’m just visiting. The discomfort…

I’m missing kitties a lot right now. Also, it’s weird and nice that I talked about extreme homesickness yesterday and now people are reaching out to me with and without knowing that I mentioned it. I think now at the two month mark, homesickness is kicking in for me and for my loved ones too.…

I literally sprinted through Salamanca, backpack on with neck pillow attached and slinging around, purse around my body, a gigantic bag of food my host mom in my hand, to get to…

My theme for today is nice spaces because that is actually what my day was full of! I spent time in the living room this morning which I actually never do. On most days I’m the first one up in the apartment, and sometimes I leave before anyone is awake so I have to spend…

It’s a write-y kind of day! Yay!!! This morning I had a new realization that I really wanted to write down, then instead of napping after lunch and six hours of classes I went to a new coffee shop with friends and wrote in a journal for my thesis, and I’ve paused to write little…

Another day with not much to report, although I am feeling better than yesterday. It’s cold and rainy here, and last night my host mom gave me another blanket that reminds me of my grandparents’ house. We had my favorite soup for dinner with salad and some delicious stuffed peppers. The medicine I’m taking makes…
