Mi Buenos Aires Querido.... te extraño.

It's been less than two weeks since I've been home in Spokane now and I'm feeling STRONG homesickness for Argentina. Stronger than the homesickness I felt for Spokane when I was in Argentina.

I'm trying to think of anyway to get back to Argentina within the coming months, hopefully by the end of next March at the latest. My lifestyle and group of friends was so different down there, I grew accustomed and fell in love with this new way of life. Its been hard for me to re-adjust, the only thing that would be hard to leave behind again would be my family, but I'd like to even study another semester down there.

My friends for the most part here don't understand the experience I've had, and I feel awkward and like they don't care when I bring up my experiences (which is constant!). Further more I feel like I've grown so far apart from my friends here, that we have so little in common. My group of friends in Argentina speak more than one language, have travel experience, and actually read my blog sometimes. (haha sad but true!). I feel like I'm back in Spokane stuck in a rut. I hope to be able to leave by the time I graduate (which, God-willing, should be at the end of March!)


I suppose this whole identity crisis and "homesickness" is all apart of the re-adjustment period. However; it sucks big time!
