So I haven’t written anything on here in a while. I could excuse myself by explaining that work has finally started being interesting as well as very demanding and tiring, and that I’ve also been really homesick and thus disinclined to write. BUT this is my blog so I don’t need to make excuses: you may be interested in my drivel but you probably aren’t anxiously awaiting it, staring at your rss feed salivating at the thought of my incoherent ideas and moaning.
This post therefore is serving as a catch-up, to let you know what you missed and to motivate me to actually get around to writing posts about the following when I get around to it. In the last few weeks, my mother, sister, and I went to Monterey Aquarium, Stanford, and Muir Woods. We played Wii at my mentor’s house and wandered around San Francisco. My sister flew home on her own for field hockey tryouts, and my mother and I visited our cousins. We went shopping and bought spiffy new clothes and bento boxes. We had pedicures. I learned how to drive (sort of). We learned Dutch (Hoe gaat het met u?). I brainstormed plans and schedules for the next school year. In short, we lived and loved California. And now it’s almost time to go home. I’m happy, my mother less so, although I’m sure she’ll feel different when she sees how pretty our new windows are, and I’ll probably miss the cooler weather.
Goodbye Livermore. Je bent adembenemend mooi and dat was geveldig, but I’m looking forward to my flight back.
