Now that it is Spring Break, the sun is out and I can finally start wearing those flip-flops that have been collecting dust under my bed this winter.
Someone up there was listening to me when I asked for sun, but now mother nature has decided to throw in some wind that has automatically reminded me of New Mexico. I actually dislike Spring- a lot. All due to the windy season New Mexico inevitably has every year. As a golfer in high school I had to endure those painful practices during the season as I would hit my ball and watch as it would appear to hit a wall and instantly drop down. Very frustrating to say the least.
But now is not the time to dwell on something like this. I'm here aren't I? This is what I signed up for! I mean it could be worse...there could still be several feet of snow on the ground. Maybe I just don't want to be reminded of New Mexico. Not yet at least. It's really not a horrible place. The autumn season is pleasant, I love the culture and for someone who loves spicey food, a state known for its green chili is the place for me. It's just that the point of this journey was to completely escape the life I had. Other than talking with loved ones and preparing for school back at home, I want to focus on what I have here and appreciate everything around me. After 6 months, I continue to do so.
For now though, I'm going to focus on the little time I have left Granada, Spain and Dublin, Ireland :)
*Speaking of golf, here is a link of a picture of on of my favorite golf courses in New Mexico, Sanda Golf Course.
