Hello America!!!
It is true, I have returned! I was welcomed to The States with a lovely 10 hour layover in DC while holding tight to what I thought may have been Swine Flu. I somehow managed to inherit a massive viral fungus that felt like it was eating away my insides. Nothing tops off a 10 hour layover like a 10 hour flight with explosive bowel movements. Too much info? I think not! To be quite honest, I am not exactly sure how I was let into this secure country we call The United States, seeing that other individuals were being scanned via inferred light to check for high temperatures. Lucky for me, I purchased an array of drugs similar to the mix of Vicodin and Cyanide. As a matter of fact, I believe I floated onto the plane.
After becoming acquainted again with American culture...IE Starbucks and obesity, I crashed out with the return of my fever on some chairs located near gate D17...also known as gateway to Beijing, and survived my 10 hours in the airport.
Sadly, I do miss the South American world I was living in, yet, it was refreshing to watch television in English and actually understand everything that was going on in customs. I decided that I have about 2 months where I can use the line "I just got back from Argentina" before it stops becoming true and I have to actually get a job. In the meantime, I have begun to visit some old friends, travel around NM, and I will even make my way to Vegas for a wedding. (No, not my own). I'm planning on living off the little savings I have left, mooching off my parents, making several trips to the lake, drinking cheap champagne and tasty gin, allthewhile (one word?) keeping up with this Blog. I may even try and seduce the loan office where my student loans are to be payed. Apparently if people are late on payments, these people get turned over to the collection agency...Boo!
So stay tuned for more awkward updates on life in The States, living with the fam, and my continuous yelling at dogs in Spanish!

Oh Courtney, I've missed being updated on your bodily functions. You're just about the only person I've ever met who could get people to actually ask you questions on the topic.
ReplyDeleteResist work for as long as possible. Collection agencies sound worse than they are. And get a facebook. Conforming is a good thing, no matter what adults say.
