I'm a bit lonely...
No reason to really cause I'm surrounded by people & have made a few friends but none the less I'm very much by myself. On one hand this is what I've been craving for the last few months but on the other it'd be nice not to be alone... See, doesn't make sense.
I'm loving been here. The whole Spanish thing is hard & has brought up quite a few issues for me re: my self esteem... When I was younger it was discovered that I'm dyslexic... I've always felt like the stupid one in our family & never the brightest kid at school. I've overcome a lot of the problems that I had & have worked out ways to get around the problems that have I haven't been able to get rid of. When I signed up for the Spanish class I didn't even think that it'd be any harder for me than anyone else... Maybe I'm just making a big deal out of it. If thought about lodgically, I have trouble with English - yet here I am trying to learn Spanish :o)
Last week I felt pretty low but have snapped out of it now & are having a good time. If I happen to pick up a bit of Spanish great but I'm not going to give myself a hard time about it any more. I'm thinking of not spending as long in Bolivia & Chile by myself & going through to Argentina to catch up with a really good friend of mine sooner so I can spend more time with her.
The 2 people I've spent the most time with here are Gemma - originally Australian but living in Vancover, & Dan - whos form Israel. All 3 of us were supposed to catch up last night but Gemma didn't show so it was just Dan & I. It was a good night, he's a nice guy... Not sure what's going on there. I'm going bungy jumping with him next weekend & are thinking about doing Machu Puich (I cant spell!) with him Friday but then I think I´d like to go for the whole weekend.
Was a bit bummed, on Saturday did a hike to tipon (Inca ruins) & it just about killed me - I found it so hard to breath & had who knows how many puffs on my ventolin... So I think that means no Inca trail for me... I was really looking forward to it too... But then again if I cant do a small hike how the hell am I supposed to do a 4 day hike... Go figure.
Anyway must go to Salsa class... Have fun... & meet more people :o)
