Finally... I can blog.

I've been with limited internet access since being back home, so everytime I'm online I have a million things to do... and blogging just hasnt fit in. And then the few occasions I have had to blog, I have felt overwhelmed by the amount of information and the things that are happening in my life right now.

So it's summer. It's starting to feel like summer, though it is raining - a lot. My older sister is in New York this weekend, and I must say I am very jealous. I wish I had the money to fly back once a month and see a play, drink in the business of the city and eat at some of my favorite restaurants or have coffee at the Tea Lounge. Instead, I'm working. That has been the sole purpose of my life lately--work. I'm a server at the Mexico City Taqueria. While it's not actually in Mexico, I feel like I live there; I'm the only blonde hair, blue-eyed, English speaking person in the place. Everyone else is, you guessed it, from Mexico. It wouldn't bother me, except for the major language barrier. I understand some Spanish, but not enough to hold a decent conversation, and most of what I have learned has been written. Meaning, I know the words, but not how to pronounce them or it takes me a minute to understand what someone is saying. Ugh.. and I'm scared to death to try to speak Spanish.. I dont know why.. but I'll get over it very soon. I started Spanish 3 on Thursday. Haha I think I must be destined to live in Latin America or Spain. Aside from trying to understand Spanish 24/7 and half the time looking like an idiot as I have no idea what everyone is talking about, I have made some good friends and I do love working with them. Waitressing as a whole though, it's not for me... thank the Lord, this is temporary.

So my summer so far, I'm a server and I'm taking summer classes. I'm exhausted, but blessed. I'm hoping to visit friends soon. I'm missing the City. This is my life. I'm happy to be with my family, though one sister will be gone as a camp counselor all summer, and the other lives close to an hour away.

I'm sure a million other things are happening.. but thats all for now..
Once again.. I'm back in the blogosphere.
