Well today is my 23rd birthday! I woke up this morning and had to kinda convince myself it was my birthday because it seemed like any other morning haha. I’m glad to be in Honduras, but on days like these I miss my family and friends from home the most because they can’t be here to celebrate with me. I laid there in bed thinking back on my 22nd year of life and all I had done and gone through in the past year: last semester at SAU, going to Chicago for a semester, all the experiences, including finding this job, in Chicago, graduating from SAU, moving back home, working and preparing for Honduras, and then finally arriving here and starting my job. It’s a lot! Crazy how much can happen and change in a year, especially in this time of my life I think. I wonder sometimes if life will change as much when I get older in a year or not...
Anyways we had full bodied pancakes for breakfast; they had banana, granola and coconut in them; I don’t know if I’ll be able to have plain pancakes anymore haha. After breakfast we watched a few hours of the Office since we just received Season 5 because Jacki’s friends brought it when they came. It’s our new favorite thing to do. I forgot how funny that show is with all its awkwardness. I’ve also noticed that sarcasm is not as common in the Latin American culture. We joke with Mr. Bran and other people sometimes or use dry humor and they just don’t get it most times. I think it’s more of a North American/European thing. Unfortunately I had to do some work on my birthday; I had to plan for next week and fill out progress reports, but I hadn’t done any yesterday so it was my fault. Later that afternoon, Laura Beth, Mr. Bran and I went to the hot springs to relax there and as a fun thing to do to celebrate my birthday. It was pretty busy and since it was a cooler day it felt nice to be in hot water. Afterwards we picked up some food for dinner and headed back home. We got home too late to go to church, so we waited for the others to get back and then had grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner.
