Mixed feelings

I haven't written anything new in a while, and there's only one reason for that. THERE ARE ONLY 24 HOURS IN EVERY DAY!! And each day seems more jam packed than the last. I don't know how we're expected to dedicate 4+ hours a day on homework when we're in another country! It's almost impossible to get everything done and also have time to sleep, eat, talk to my family, etc. We have almost 3 whole weeks left here, which is good in the sense that I still have time to try and get to know some mexican people my age, go shopping in the amazing centro, maybe go out for a beer or two?? But my worry is that these next few weeks will come and go and I'll be feeling the same after the program is over as I am now. But on a positive note, I love my family here, I love the city, I love the weekend trips, and I love the food! My family always has great authentic, homemade mexican food for comida, and everywhere else I've eaten has been nothing short of an experience! I am excited to come home and share my experiences with everyone, but at the same time I am very sad to be leaving this great home that I've become part of. My nights at home usually consist of my family and I hanging out watching TV together in my abuela's room, eating ice cream with cookies, and chatting about our day. It's almost too good to be true. I will definitely be coming back to visit as soon as I can. Last weekend we had a trip to Guanajuato, a city that's pretty close to ours, about 2 hours in a bus, and it was the most beautiful place I've ever seen! It was built in a small valley with mountains/hills all around it, so it's impossible for it to grow any bigger, and the entire city is like a historic downtown zone with great shops everywhere, open air markets, and taco stands. If I had to choose, I'd go back there before traveling anywhere else. This weekend we have a free weekend to stay home and do whatever we want (yay!) which will include sleeping and shopping for me. I know there must be millions of other things to say, but I can hear my homework calling me from the other side of my room, so for now that's it! Nos vemos!
