Two Months ~by Stephanie

It has almost been two full months of living in Utila.
I have enjoyed most of the moments; living on this island has given me plenty of brand new insights and experiences. Learning Spanish, becoming an Advanced Open Water diver, and living in not so picturesque conditions; truly a time of stretching...seeing that waking up already coated in sweat, eating hot oatmeal, packing my brain with plenty of information...if I were an encyclopedia, eating peanut butter sandwiches (which I have NEVER cared for in the least!), and then having four to five hours of homework to look forward to before I crash and start the whole process over again does not make me too happy nor joyful...it's rather draining actually.
Weekends truly have a new meaning for me.
I have thanked God for knowing when I would become greatly discouraged. Having my friends come at this time is going to be perfect. I've told my mom twice already that if the Webers were not coming I'd give up....and I don't give up....that is in fact something for the weak at heart; I refuse to be categorized in such a group. About a week ago it hit me that I'm ready for home, I'm ready to walk in the horrid heat of summer but be welcomed by air conditioning when entering my home. I long for my own bed...it's not fun having my face kicked during the night even if the person those feet belong to is someone I love dearly...they need to stay on THEIR side! juuust my opinion ya see. :p God is faithful, He knows my limit however pathetic it is.
My dear teacher Diana is leaving me; I'm going to miss her so badly! (I have so much fun driving her crazy...) I write my sentences specifically to see her look at me with her eyebrows wrinkled the way they do when...well, when I've accomplished my goal. :):):) She has facebook which will allow us to keep in touch- in Spanish.
There are so many things I could choose to ramble on about. We might be going diving this Saturday to try and be with the Whale Shark, they spotted him two days ago so he's arrived!
Anywho, I have a time limit...
Wow, how annoying; some young adults (only because they've passed a certain age...not because of maturity...) just drove by our house screaming and laughing. ...weird...
That's another thing I miss. Respect. No one holds respect for anything or anyone. I dislike that greatly. I like order and authority; the recognition of it is important...and there is NO care or concern for it here. Alright, I'm going have recognition of my authority and not say anything more. Good night...
