October 5th. Is it cold back home?

hello one, hello all.
i wrote a little poem about home, and it helped me get out my homesickness.
i'm doing good, better than i intended to be while on my exchange...


HERE IS THE POEM! :0 Which isn't really a poem, but it should be.


I imagine myself in Utah with the leaves, all changing colors. The crunchy leaves under my feet. The days of walking hand in hand and our breathe barely visible in the air...crunching every possible leaf on the way to the home and wood stove. I was in love with the fall.

I begin to wonder what snow feels like compacted in my hand. I see my fingers turn pink from the cold, and the snowflakes melting on my black gloves. I'm watching you laugh as I try not to slip on the ice, your grin kooky and big. I was in love with the winter.

And now I am watching the drops hit the rooftops here, and rushing back to running in the pouring rain. From your fathers house to the library, your figure is next to me laughing as the water runs too, runs down our faces...I was in love with the spring.

It finishes on the hot night laying in the backyard, accompanied by tiny stars in the black above. Stolen kisses, sealed promises and fireworks. I was in love with the summer.

I was in love with you.

There you go! When I get homesick, listening to music helps too. Here's a link to one of my favorite songs. I want to see this band in Velour if they come again when I get back.

HERE'S THE LINK!

I just got in from tanning by the pool. It's a fairly decent way to have some alone time, I think. ;)

I don't remember what night it was, but I'm pretty sure it was Sunday, I was up until 3 AM. My host family's son is in Canada as an exchange student and he needed help making a spanish dish for his host family. I was exhausted Monday, which didn't help the fact that Monday is the only day of the week with my classes is a bad arrangement. Two hours of technology in the afternoon. Technology is my second least favorite class. It's second to Valencia, the language class for the other dialect. 

Today is Tuesday, and it's the day with the best arrangement of classes. Plus, it's on of the days I go at 9 instead of 8. 

i thought i was going to get lotion and make up today, but my mom hasn't returned from getting the boys for quite a while...sad. okay, i'm gonna go outside again before i'm tempted to eat food inside the house. i feel like i'm already gaining weight!

asta luego!
