Senior year

WOW!

this is amazing how far we've come. though i have a lot of apprehensions about senior year, i know it will be a good one. it did start off a bit wacky cos i never had my schedule messed up before and this is the first year they messed up my schedule. i recently just got gym added to my schedule! four weeks into the school year. oh wells. once october comes into full gear, i'll be so busy trying to compelete apps and everything there won't even be time to breathe. i am looking foward to that. just the feeling of accomplishment will be worth it.

PA-MONDAY! I am uber excited. I hope all goes well!!!

home is where the heart's at

I can't believe I am back in NEW YORK CITYYYYY!! Everything seems familiar, yet unfamiliar. Am I really home? Is that how my dad's car looked like? Whoa my bed? Everything seems a bit funky, and a bit getting used to. Even though I'm home, all I'm wishing right now is that I'm back in Costa Rica, chilling with Timothy, George, Kelley, Sarah, La-Shaye, Travis, Veronica, and most of all Esteban (my cousin) I can imagine us in Tilaran, sitting under the kiosko and laughing. It's hard to believe that everything was all in the past and now I'm really back in NYC, at home, on my computer and typing on xanga, which I havent been on for so long that they suspended my account! lols! just a week ago, I was still in my Costa Rican home, probably chilling with everyone and probably going to grab a drink at Cocky's and having a blast.

Pretty much everyone is back and I longed to talk to people today, but I didnt know who to call. Actually, the person I desired to talk to the most, I coulddn't talk to. I just couldnt. So I listened to his voicemail that he left for me cos I didn't want to pick up the phone, cos I was too shy...and I listened to it like four times. and it reallly soothed me. his voice, just reminded me of everything, everything that I could never say.

I love them and miss them so much!
