I see a lot of things here that remind me of my family and friends back in L.A. I could write about all of it, or I could choose to get up and get out of my apartment and try to walk it off. I choose walk... But not before I mope a little.

It Comes in Waves
I've been told by my new friends here that homesickness comes in waves and I never doubted it for a second. I'm riding that wave today. It's Thanksgiving back at home today and I'm not there. It's not so much that I wish I could go back home but rather that I wish that home could come to me. I like it here. I like my new surroundings and my new adventure. But I do miss my family and my boyfriend. I wish they could come here and run around this place with me. Every time I see a cell phone shop I think of my little brother Jonathan. He was so excited for me to get a super futuristic cell phone. He'd geek out and whisperingly yell, "Future!" as he wiggled his fingers in front of me, as if to perform some sort of crazy robot magic trick.

Hi Marisol,
ReplyDeleteI'm Benito, one of the student at LAVC for Speech 104 with Dr. Marteney. Just wanted to say hi to a homie from the valley! Hahaha! I think it's awesome that you're in Korea and teaching....that must be some experience.
Anyway, I've been hearing about what's been going on around there, and you came to mind. I figured that I should check your blog....pretty interesting.
Gotta go now. This weekend I have a lot of schoolwork, including Speech 104. Well, you know there's only 2 1/2 weeks left this semester....you know how that goes.
Be safe, and chat with you soon!
Ben :)
Hi Benito!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm just now replying to your comment, but I just noticed your comment right now. :)
Thanks for checking out the blog. I've had a lot of people asking me about the situation over here and I always answer the same thing, everything's fine. I honestly don't think things are going to get worse.
Anyway, good luck with the final! You've been doing pretty well in the class discussions, so I expect that the final's going to go well for you. =)
