The unfamiliar is not to be feared. Only once it is embraced can the unfamiliar become familiar and fear become understanding.

so here i am, now officially 1 day into 2010. the third decade in which i'm living. how did i get here? i've felt old and young, irresponsible and too responsible these past few days, just being in my home country.

probably the most productive saturday i've had in awhile...
so yesterday was thanksgiving day (well, in the u.s. anyway). it was my first thanksgiving outside of the u.s. and without my family - and really here in chile, it was just another day. i worked like always and because i'd been sick with some kind of stomach bug for the past few days, wasn't feeling up to cooking and much less eating a full thanksgiving dinner. instead, juan and i decided to dedicate the day to all things from the u.s. instead of celebrating thanksgiving in the traditional way (thanks for agreeing to that, juan :D) - the day, after all, is more about what you're thankful for than necessarily eating the turkey, right?
a trip to valdivia (a city in the south of chile) has inspired me to eat healthier, or rather, fresher. we'll see how long it lasts, ha ha :)
1 more night in buenos aires for awhile. is this really my life, to come here every couple of months from my home in santiago? is my home really in santiago right now, complete with job, apt, boyfriend, friends, and routine?
this was a culture/physical shock for me when i first arrived here. in the u.s., clubs close at 2 am - in santiago, you might not go out until 2 am and come home at 4:30, 5, 6, etc.
