http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010/07/update-about.html
I lift up my eyes. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. So, I've neglected this blog because 1. I'm no longer in Mexico and 2. Life just doesn't seem as eventful. Then, while this blog might not be too interesting, at least I'm making the effort, right? One nice thing about being home (and being on vacation) is having a wonderful, relaxed morning routine. A 4-5 mile run, a cup of coffee with soy milk, the newspaper or a book (the local library is probably one of my most frequent current hang-outs).perfect! Simple t...

I lift up my eyes: Back in North Carolina
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010/06/back-in-north-carolina.html
I lift up my eyes. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Back in North Carolina. Well, I am back in the States, speaking English, sitting in air conditioning, etc. It's kind of weird. Actually, reverse culture shock hasn't been too overwhelming yet (I'm still waiting for the big shock), but there have been little things that really get to me. I know I'm not being very understanding or gracious, but it was just such a disappointing way to come back to be around my own countrymen. Currently, I'm trying to:. Coming Aro...

I lift up my eyes: November 2009
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
I lift up my eyes. Saturday, November 28, 2009. Well, the past week has been very different than past Thanksgivings. First of all, I had class every day (sad), and what was worse was that I had to hear about everybody being with their families and eating tons of good food. It made me think about Thanksgiving and all the things I missed about it:. Eating tons of good food. Being in NYC and waking up at 4 am to go watch the parade. Riding the subway because there was nothing else to do. Monday, November 23...

I lift up my eyes: Last Minute Things
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010/06/last-minute-things.html
I lift up my eyes. Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Today I officially turned in my last assignment! I'm done with school.well, for now. It's been an interesting year not studying my "real" major. I think it's going to cost me a little to get back into the whole music thing. Now the idea of trying to identify a key signature seems really foreign and far away. I should have taken the Praxis II when I still actually remembered my music theory. And, all my gifts are bought! You are coming home soon!

I lift up my eyes: Coming Around Full Circle
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010/06/coming-around-full-circle.html
I lift up my eyes. Monday, June 7, 2010. Coming Around Full Circle. The most common question nowadays: Como te sientes? How do you feel? This question refers to me leaving in exactly 1 WEEK after having lived here in Mexico since July. Wow. It's hard to answer, but I say that I'm okay with going home on June 13th. On the other hand, I would also be okay going home in another two months. I'm accepting the return date because that's what it is; my plane ticket won't change. Back in North Carolina.

I lift up my eyes: February 2010
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
I lift up my eyes. Sunday, February 28, 2010. The past couple of days several people have paid me lots of compliments. The surprising thing (or maybe not so surprising) was that I was completely taken aback by all of them. I can only hope so. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Last night I went with a couple of friends to see the movie. Which is about a guy in Tijuana, Mexico as he tries several times to cross the border into the US. (REALLY good movie by the way, I definitely recommend it.). I'm not too sure.

I lift up my eyes: March 2010
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
I lift up my eyes. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Last night I tried to make a cake for Lisa's birthday. Let's just say that it's probably for the best that I've never had aspirations of becoming a professional chef/baker/anything that involves the preparation of food for human consumption. Saturday, March 20, 2010. Yesterday in class, I ended up talking with two of my classmates during our break (because the class is 3 hours and who can sit through that straight? Monday, March 15, 2010. Because yesterday (a...

I lift up my eyes: I'm a Kid at Heart
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010/07/im-kid-at-heart.html
I lift up my eyes. Friday, July 30, 2010. I'm a Kid at Heart. Last week I had the opportunity to go back to Camp Bob as a volunteer. Because this place is so special to me, I was super excited to go hang out for the week, see old friends, and play with some great kids. I got there a couple of days before the week's campers arrived and spent some time in town and running trails :) However, due to lots of unexpected circumstances (camp is all about being flexible, right?

I lift up my eyes: April 2010
http://veronicamanda.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
I lift up my eyes. Thursday, April 29, 2010. I absolutely love Thursdays. I don't have class in the morning so my schedule consists of getting up early, running for 40-50 minutes, drinking carrot-orange juice from the market, and then finally showering and eating breakfast. I love it when I can enjoy the morning, and I don't have to rush :) Too bad I'm going to be a teacher.that means about zero possibility to take my time in the morning. Last night I was looking online at the University of Florida which...
