Christina´s Extraordinary Adventures Abroad!
Well Im in Manta at the house I stayed at last summer with the Nottbohms. The weekend started off with Karims 17th birthday party...it was the longest most obnoxious thing I had ever been too. It wasnt so bad when Andrea was there but after she left it was torture. I love hanging out with everyone but they are ALOT younger than me and in party situations I realize how old I feel with them. Plus they were all drinking and acting like idiots so yea. Andrea is one of Karims friends that I met last year and we really hit it off. She is so mature for her age and was one of the few that acctually understood and appreciated why I was here last year to begin with. She goes out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Last night there was another party but I was not up for going at all so Andrea and I went to the mall and movies. I got there before her and had an emotional breakdown in the mall...it was quite interesting. All day I had just been really feeling homesick and sad and it didnt help that I was going on no sleep whatsoever. Then at the mall I was trying to get money out of my account when it kept telling me my pin was wrong even though its the one I have always used. So I call my Daddy and try not to get upset but eventually just loose it after finding out that my bank crap cant get fixed easily and after talking to my little bro and sis. I knew I had to talk fast because it was costing lots of money on my cell phone from home and Caleb and Marion wanted to talk to me so bad...but then I just really got upset becuase I miss everyone soo much! I think the hardest thing is that I havent talked to my family by phone in 2 weeks but now I have an ecuador phone number for my cell and they will hopefully be able to call me soon! Today Sunday we didnt really do anything...I mostly sit in my room and read or listen to music...they just all kindof sit in the parents room and watch tv or whatever...its kindof weird sometimes because there isnt tv in my room and there isnt like a living room where everyone hang out so I just kindof chill by myself...which I hate and they just lay around ALOT which i am soo not used to!!! But oh well. Hopefully during the week it will be better because I will be able to go to the orphanage during the day and help out. I almost wonder if I should have just stayed sleeping there...but it really is more physically comfortable here...and I have contact with the rest of the world LOL plus I did want to visit the Nottbohms...I just hate being bored and stuff. I dont think it helps any either that I am a little homesick. I dont really know why all of the sudden it just hit me...I think because Drew went home and now Im by myself alot and knowing that Ashley is coming home today too and plus because I have traveled around so much in just the 2 months it feels like I have been gone FOREVER! But only 10 days left until I home. I cannot wait to see everyone and eat some Cracker Barrell!! I seriously have been craving it for weeks since everyone was talking about it in Argentina!! Im not however looking forward to all the crazy stuff I have to do as soon as I get home...such as...get a job, start classes, recruitment and big man stuff for phi mu, church stuff, and God only knows what else. But it will be good to be home! Well that is all for now! Leave comments please!!! LOL I miss hearing from everyone!!
Love you guys and miss yall!
