Everything came together...

I almost didn't come to class. Last night I slept at 4:00 am because I stayed up doing math homework and an essay. But, if I didn't come I knew that next class I was going to feel lost. Therefore, I was going to miss important information. I don't even want to talk right now, my mind is slept and honestly my neurons are not going through the process of synaptic density. I learned the term synaptic density on my Human Development class, which is pretty interesting. My body feels tired too. I jog for about 1 hour every day. In addition, I am very hungry. The last time I ate was yesterday at five in the afternoon. My stomach is completely empty. Since I've been in University of Miami I have lost over four pounds. It's not like being in your house and grabbing a snack whenever you feel hungry. Instead, here you have to walk for about 10 minutes to get what you want. This makes me crazy sometimes. Everything is so far away. On the other hand, thinking about how long my day is makes me feel even more lazier. I have classes at 3:30 which disturbs my whole afternoon.

Weekend

This weekend was awesome. Being in South Beach is a totally different world than here. Since my parents are still here, I am taking advantage of going to the beach, tanning, eating, and shopping. Well, I decided to take a break from college. Therefore, I didn't do any homework in advance as I usually do. My parents are the most amazing parents in the world. They do what's best for me, so they told me to stay with them the whole week. But, the problem is that sometimes there's too much traffic. So, I told them that monday, wednesday, and friday I could sleep in South Beach because I have classes at 12:20. They agreed because they knew I was right. Besides, my father has to work this week. My grandfather came here to visit me and to work. I will probably see him today. I haven't got the chance to see him because he got yesterday at 4 am and yesterday was a very busy day for us. The last time I saw him was in June because he doesn't live in Bolivia, he lives in Argentina. So, I am very excited to see him. I know he is also excited because he has been questioning my father about my experience in University of Miami.

I wish my grandmother would come and see me. Seeing again a person is like the best and most exciting situation you can experience. It's so nice to see how you appreciate your grandma's visit, this shows you have been raised with principles and values. Instead, other people just don't talk again with their relatives who they haven't seen in a long time. I even know people who don't really care about their grandmothers. And I know, year by year they get chubbier and more wrinkles appear. In my country it's also common to see people with uncommon healthy lifestyles. Therefore, my grandmother is not able to travel because she has respiratory problems and diabetes. Respiratory problems because she smoked over 40 cigarettes in one day. And diabetes due  to her bad eating habits. So, consider yourself very fortunate to have your grandmother's visit!

Time

Time is going by so fast, I have been away from home more than a month now. I have so many things to do on a day that 24 hours are becoming not sufficient. I am getting used to all the changes that have occurred since moving in to University of Miami. For example, sharing a room was the hardest obstacle to overcome. But, now I am very happy thankfully I get along with her. She is open to new changes I want to make to the room and we have rules that are beneficial for both of us. Being organized is what has made me feel comfortable here, otherwise I would be back in my country again. My bedroom has always been impeccable, but I had three maids in my house. Now, I realize their job. I am also learning how to really appreciate my parents, though I have always been very thankful, they bought me everything I needed, in other words they fulfilled the role of parents. Yesterday for example, I have to go to the supermarket to buy food because I had nothing on my refrigerator. And it was incredible the amount of many important ingredients I forgot. But, this is what I came for, to become more independent, and it's going on pretty good.

The difficulty of waking up

Sometimes waking up so early is the worst thing in the world. Hearing my alarm when I didn't expect it to ring and looking at the sky if it is either 7am in the morning or 3am sucks. Sometimes at this time in the morning I tend to think I synchronized my alarm incorrectly. But its strange though because the more I sleep the more tired I feel.Yesterday I slept at 10:30pm and today was the hardest and laziest day of my whole college life. In addition, thinking about how much classes and homework I have makes it even harder to get out of my bed. Furthermore, having to take a bath trying not to be loud because your roommate is so lucky to sleep until 11am is very uncomfortable. But the good thing is that after writing this post I start feeling more productive and positive. Therefore, I feel motivated for my next class which is CIS 150, which has everything to do with Excel.

It's very admirable to see how you can overcome such a difficult situation. For instance, for me, it would be extremely hard to not see my father or just speak with him for 3 minutes. Furthermore, I can see you love him very much. And it's good to see how you understand him, by knowing he can't talk more because he's busy. So, I can see you are learning how to be strong by not having 24/7 support from your father. Besides, the position of your father is much worse, meaning that it's very harsh for him to be close to his family. It's an honor for you to have a dad who has traveled to complete a mission for the country.

Who am I?

I am a freshman at University of Miami. I was born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia on December 15, 1993. I have lived there my whole entire life, throughout pre kinder, kinder, elementary, middle, and high school. I went to Santa Cruz Cooperative School, located 20 minutes from my house.
What I really enjoy doing is going to the beach, shopping, going to have dinner, to the movie theater, and jogging. Jogging is something I have done since I was around 10 years old. But, I have not dedicated so much time due to the huge amounts of homework I had in school. In addition, I had to leave my tennis classes, which really sucked. Furthermore, one of my biggest dreams is to work with a fashion designer. Obviously I am majoring in marketing which I like way more, but fashion is something I feel passioned since I was a very small girl.
I am totally not a talkative person, I am shy. I like to know new people and learn something from their culture. I know UM is a great place to do that because the large variety of people in it. Therefore, I am an easy person to get along, I'm not problematic at all. I am very tranquil and don't bother anyone. Because of that, I don't like to present in from a large group of people. It's not that I can't do it, but I would prefer not to.
My family are the biggest and most important person's in my life. I am used to be very close to them, they are great persons. They are very caring, loving, and the best parents in the world. My sister is also an admirable person. She is 15 years old, but totally different from me. She likes to dance, make jokes, full around, and just enjoy life. She doesn't care what anyone does or likes. We have many fights, like every normal sister, but we can't live apart from each other.
