i'm in costa rica. i've been in costa rica since september.
i love it here, and yet i miss home. going back to NJ is going to be bittersweet.

i've worked hard this semester. i am proud of that.
it's almost over.
bonner hours are over. CA requirements are almost over. and i did really well in my classes.
i must appear put together.
so much is good, but so much isn't. and i can't even pinpoint what.
so, in the meantime, i'm going to enjoy each beautiful day and try to secure as much as is possible that my semester will end well.
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.

i have a headache from crying. i'd love for classes to be cancelled tomorrow morning. and for the school where i do service tomorrow to be cancelled as well. i just want to sleep in. my birthday is tuesday. i will turn twenty. i don't feel twenty. twenty sounds old. there are people that i love and want to remain close with for the rest of my life.

maybe i'm getting into the swing of things again.
spanish is hard this semester. and costa rica paperwork is looming; february 16th is an ever-approaching deadline.
i began tutoring Nazjea. and i think we're going to have a blast on mondays this semester. i'm excited for the change of pace of my community service. less feeling of not being used and more planning for awesome art days with the students who really want to learn.
addition of an english major? this semester is the test. so we'll see. i can definitely do it if i decide i love english. if i decide i don't, i probably will do it anyway. if i can, i might as well. and most of the literature classes seem really neat.
i'm excited to escape college next semester. costa rica will be a lot of adventure and not so much commitment to billions of organizations.
i want to teach my children spanish as they grow up. i never want to not use spanish. i hope i get good enough to be fluent. i may just move to a spanish-speaking country and never come back. though there are some things here that are worth staying for. we'll see. we will see. the rest of my life has so many options and requires so much decision-making.

i had mad cavities filled today. and now my teeth hurt.
i recently saw children of men and pan's labyrinth. i liked them both. a lot.
they haven't found anything conclusive about my kidneys yet. i have another crazy test tomorrow for which i am dieting today. i'm only allowed to eat jello and boullion broth in preparation for the test.

on my way home from tcnj, i stopped at the country griddle and was instantly hired as a waitress. i worked that night. and the night after that. and the night after that. and then i'll work tomorrow and the next night. at least i don't have to work christmas day.
so far, the money isn't something to brag about, but i also have been training. it's like, i never have worked harder doing anything else and right now, i'm making the least amount of money doing it. waitressing, i never sit down, am always under pressure, and am paid by how well my customers think i did, no matter if the factors that influence that decision are my fault or not. but i kind of like the amount of pride i get to have taking it all on, you know? as opposed to filing? there's just like an amount of pride you feel when you get a $7 tip on a $25 dollar meal. i also noticed that waitstaff hoard their dollars. not like, 5's or tens, but dollar bills.
hopefully they "trust" me with more tables tomorrow night. i need to make some money so i can stop feeling worthless.

thanks, christopher columbus, for inventing thanksgiving.

this is dedicated to the sleep i should be enjoying at this exact moment. and this exact moment.
autumn reminds me how beautiful brokenness is. healthy leaves are so much more beautiful as they die. (though that is not an analogy one can apply universally.)
i miss singing. it's weird to have abandoned something that used to define me. weird and sad.
two years is soon. two years is a long time. the best long time.

my academic life is finally in some order. It's a good feeling.
and Argentina's got something coming next fall.
I also opened a savings account. So I will stop thinking I can spend all my money.

my car died. was rammed off the street by a cop car's bumper. and then was resurrected on 202S.
andrew, emily, her friend, and i saved two baby bunnies.
i am tired.
i am managing my time better this semester than i ever had.
i still go to the gym pretty much every day.
you can't tell though.
i gave blood, saw the science of sleep, and did lots of service. Not all in the same day.
i am tired.
I need to fly my kite.

school is busy, but not overwhelming.
mandatory goals:
-3.0 GPA
-280 hours of community service
-180 reslife programming points
-pick a major/ minor.
personal goals:
-to be more healthy. so i am eating better and exercising every day. i started monday. i like it.
-to find voice lessons. not singing for a year definitely affected whatever talent i used to have. in a negative way. and singing is something i don't want to lose altogether.
-get to sculpture gardens.
to be continued.

five years is a long time to have an online journal in which i write one liners that are either too vague or too specific to even remember about which event they were written.

i'm listening to amina. and am being relaxed.
my pin was removed tuesday from the toe the doctor shortened.
i guess that's good.
my foot looks like a foot still. only a little prettier.
i'm going to have big scars though.
hopefully the lack of pain i now supposedly will have will make up for them.
i leave for canada on friday.
i will be able to swim. finally finally.
i joined a gym. to get my exercise on.
i rode on the back of jeff's motorcycle today. and we drove everywhere.
it was seriously incredible. i don't know how i've gone nineteen years without experiencing this.
it's like, riding a horse. at least in the feeling of freedom.
and in the feeling of surrender. like, horses have a personality to which one must surrender.
same with entrusting jeff to ride safely.
a motorcycle is more foreign feeling though. or. just more different.
like the force on which you ride is much less understood.
at least by me. i guess other people would understand animals less.
but i digress. point: i love motorcycles.
i helped my sister and her husband move today.
her new house in pennsylvania is incredible.
really eclectic and old. but a good old.
and she has a stone foundation.
i love stone foundations.
i also love to sleep.
