Well it’s almost been a full week since I’ve been back. It was a very sad goodbye as my friends and I parted at the airport. But thanks to communication, we have talked almost everyday through skype, facebook, and using my mexican phone that I brought back. It only costs about $.51 to send a text and it’s free to receive. I can put more credit on my phone at this Latin store not too far from my house. This communication has helped, A LOT!
I am happy to have my car again, to have my things and family near, and to enjoy some of the foods I haven’t had in a while. I also have a list of things to do which is keeping me occupied and distracting me from missing Mexico too much.
At times my mind still functions in Spanish. I find myself answering questions in Spanish or using phrases that I commonly used in Mexico. Talking with my friends still will help to keep my Spanish up and not let me lose it so fast from not practicing.
It was hard to leave, but it’s been a good homecoming. What a great experience, one that will not be forgotten anytime soon!
