I Miss

I miss solid floors so that when I jump my things don't fall off of my desk.

Gone

I decided that it was too late in the day and the couches looked too junky to really hope someone would buy them. Anna, Ian, and I moved the couches out to the side of the road and I stuck "FREE" signs on both of them. I'm glad to say that both of them are gone and that we now have a back room to store MORE junk. :)

Summer is over.

To say the least this summer was one of the best I've had in a long time. What makes a summer a good one? I think that having enough to do is the key to being happy during summers. It's fun to spend a day or two in front of a tv but after a while I get bored and need to do something productive, constructive, and non electric. I spent most of my summer traveling and visiting friends and family. I was able to invest in some great people and feel like I have family who I am not directly related to.

I had a great summer and now I'm looking forward to a great semester. While I've been gone things have changed, which is a good thing, but it will still take a while getting used to. I should be updating my blog with daily happenings more often now (yay for a keyboard that works!) that I have a computer again. Upland has a Labor Day weekend sale and I'm going to try to sell two couches and a bike helmet tomorrow. :)

I´m here...now what?

Guess what? I kind of lost my paper with all of my phone numbers in Santa Cruz...so no one really knows I´m here. :P On a lighter note, no one replied to my request for free housing either. My next step is to try my friend´s phone number and if no one answers then look for a nice little youth hostel to stay at. At least I speak the language!

Next Step: Santa Cruz!

I leave for Bolivia tonight at 12:45 am and will be getting into Santa Cruz around 6 pm. I still don´t know where I will be staying when I get there or if anybody will even be around to pick me up from the bus station. That´s half the fun, isn´t it? It turns out that half of my graduating class will be in Santa Cruz so I´ve decided to make the effort to see everyone. Chau for now... Please pray that my last minute pop into Santa turns out smoothly.

P.S. So far I´ve slept in 5 different houses here in Salta, je.
