back in medallo.

ive been back in medellin for a few days now and honestly i feel as if im returning home instead of FROM home. im starting to feel more comfortable with my spanish than ever. i dont even get that weird feeling in my chest before i speak, that little bit of stress that youre going to fuck up or not understand what the other person is saying and have to fake it not to look like an ass. i start work tomorrow and as much as im nervous as fuck bc im honestly probably not qualified for the job, i know i have such a great support network of teachers and administrators that are there to help me develop into a qualified teacher. 

and ive just fallen completely back in with my friends. mari is going back to brazil for a month (shes extending her visa too and seeing her family), but as much as im going to miss her like crazy, i have the comfort of other friends here. at a party at tati's house (shes an awesome aiesecer who just makes me smile from ear to ear) i was greeted with open arms and drunkin (and sober) hugs and i just fell right back into the love. it was fantabulous.

dont get me wrong, i loved being home and seeing people i love. but right now, in this moment, i belong here. for once im in the right place at the right time.
