Maracaibo Madness: January-March
Luckily for my own benefit, I take pictures of basically everything. Anyone who knows me knows that. I am lucky because I have been so incredibly lazy about sending updates about what I have been up to since I got back from my winter break in January. I will start with my return to Venezuela from the States: Leaving home is the worst thing ever. Honestly. I try to stay strong, just like my parents and my sisters, but it really sucks. I am confident that leaving home will always be like this. That being said, I was really looking forward to getting back into the routine here. After being with my EBV family practically every day for the 5 months we have known each other, being apart was strange. What I didn't realize was the culture shock I would experience upon my second arrival. It was much worse from the first time I met Maracaibo back in August. I assume it was because I expected to settle back in easily? Or maybe because I didn't expect my Spanish to have gotten worse...
