monthiversary

yesterday was my monthiversary. that's right, i have been here now for one month and one day. i can't believe how fast time has flown. yesterday when i woke up i skyped nan and pa for a while and then i just went to my class, and when i got home i booked the reservation for my second family coming up in about a month and a half (i am so excited about this, i absolutely cannot wait!) then i skyped my family and we had some good laughs, as usual.

after that we went to downtown disney again and it's just so beautiful. i don't know why i'm so fascinated by it. but the atmosphere is so romantic, and friendly, and family oriented and it just feels like such a happy place. again, i was permanently smiling, except the moment when my heart broke when idalia told me she met michael buble. i know! i still feel to cry at the thought of that. he's one of the loves of my life. the other love of my life is the pair of raybans from sunglass hut. i guarantee i will buy them eventually. because i do "NEED" them. we watched a couple entertainment pieces throughout downtown disney, including a dance competition for couples, and a solo guitarist, who actually seems to play all instruments by himself, including some really cool things that i had never seen before. i did quarrel with him though, because no one was singing and how can someone possibly play such a funky version of 'sweet child of mine' with no one singing?! he then gave me his guitar pick, which obviously made it all better.

i planned to go to the gym this morning, and when my alarm annoyingly went off this morning, i snoozed it again til an hour later. but i couldn't sleep. i was just too excited to get up and get moving - i don't know what the sudden motivation is but i was so glad i went this morning. it was a great start to my day. after that, i went online to do an assignment for my online course, and in the process of doing so, i received my grade for the first assignment i did, and i got full marks. just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why i'm constantly elated.

tonight, unfortunately, i work til just after midnight, but i will definitely not be complaining since i work til after 3am on friday and saturday night. really crazy shifts, but i don't mind, it's what i came up here to do.

people who go away to school are soon getting ready to head home for march break so i'm starting to miss home when everyone's together, having a great time. but if the first month flew by so quickly, i know the next five months are going to do just the same! sending lots of peace, love and pixie dust!
