The issue with keeping this blog is falling behind on days when nothing exciting really happens.
Today was a typical sort of day for me - I went to school, I ate lunch with my host mom, I siesta-ed, I went to the mall to use the internet for research for my paper, and then we went to have tapas and a drink later that night.
It was a great day; don’t get me wrong. But there was nothing really exceptional about it. And that is kind of cool on it’s own. Sure it’s taken three weeks, but I have enough of a routine here to have something I consider normal.
It’s odd how quickly you become accustomed to a place. It took me three weeks here to get to know Oviedo, and I remember that October of my freshman year was the first time I called Mizzou home.
We haven’t moved houses in my memory, since we moved to Petersburg when I was three, so I’ve had to discover some of this on my own, probably later in life than most people do, but I believe that you can be comfortable anywhere.
The most important things in life are people, and having friends and comfort and someone to talk to makes living anywhere bearable. And when it’s somewhere beautiful and full of life and culture like Oviedo, it’s easy to begin feeling at home.
