MEXICO
(blog entry)
I just got back from Mexico on Saturday night. It was a really amazing experience. I am happy to be back home, but I still feel like a part of my heart is in Mexico. It’s hard to explain, but I’m going to do my best to summarize my experiences ...

(blog entry)
A lot has changed since I have last written in this thing. Some good, some bad, some a little of both. But, that is the nature of change. I have been waiting until I have time to sit down and write a big entry about it all, which is the wrong a...

(blog entry)
I have a lot to write about today. In a few days I will be moving to my new place in uptown Normal. I am really excited about the place. The location is great and I hope to walk, ride my bike, or take the train to many places and use my car as ...

This weekend I went with my family to LA because by sister was trying out for the bellydance superstars. It was a really cool experience. I got to hang out with my parents a lot and enjoy LA while my sister was mentally preparing and getting her...

So, since getting back into the US I am trying to work a lot on my dissertation. I am having a tough time for several reasons. Firstly, in Mexico I really enjoyed talking being with other people, enjoying the beauty of shared experience. Now that I am back I am back to living by myself. Don't get me wrong, I like living by myself, but sometimes I can get trapped into negative cycles when I am all by myself.
I live in an awesome neighborhood and can chat with my neighbors at any time, b...

I just got back from Mexico on Saturday night. It was a really amazing experience. I am happy to be back home, but I still feel like a part of my heart is in Mexico. It’s hard to explain, but I’m going to do my best to summarize my experiences and feelings about Mexico.
Our trip there was difficult. We were grounded in Chicago due to bad weather in DC, and didn’t arrive in DC until late at night. Then, we tried to get tickets to Mexico City, because we missed our connecting flight. Thi...

A lot has changed since I have last written in this thing. Some good, some bad, some a little of both. But, that is the nature of change. I have been waiting until I have time to sit down and write a big entry about it all, which is the wrong attitude to have and is probably why I don’t journal very often. I always think that I have to write about everything every time I write.
So, the first change is that I now live in uptown Normal, and I absolutely love it. My apartment is old fashio...

I have a lot to write about today. In a few days I will be moving to my new place in uptown Normal. I am really excited about the place. The location is great and I hope to walk, ride my bike, or take the train to many places and use my car as minimally as possible. The inside of the apartment is really cool—the floors are wood and there is a skylight in the kitchen and in the bathroom. The whole place has kind of an antique type feel, like a place where my grandparents would like. Ther...

This weekend I went with my family to LA because by sister was trying out for the bellydance superstars. It was a really cool experience. I got to hang out with my parents a lot and enjoy LA while my sister was mentally preparing and getting her audition ready. On Saturday I met Megan at Raqs LA, where different belly dance superstars were teaching workshops. I took one with Kami Liddle, because I really liked her workshop in Kirksville and her in general. Afterwards we walked around and...
