Que Raro...

Today has been one of those weird days.
Apparently it’s the anniversary of the falling of the Berlin wall, something I didn’t know until someone explained that’s why there’s a giant cardboard wall in front of our school. There was also some sort of fair thing in one of the open areas, but I wasn’t sure what that was about. Rumors say Finance class? Then there were also several wall-length banners declaring the horrors of communism and several holocausts due to them (Stalin, Ho Chi Min, Mao, etc). Still some confusion.
My house, during my absence this weekend, also got Christmasfied, tree and all. I think it’s a little early, but that’s just me.
To top it all off, today I find out (via facebook no less) that my house at home in Hawaii got broken into over the weekend. Needless to say, I was mildly upset this afternoon. I just find it cruelly ironic that my house in my super safe subdivision got robbed before me, in a developing country, in a city with “critical level danger”, where I am clearly in the vulnerable minority. I’m incredibly grateful that nothing happened to anyone.
It’s also kind of frustrating to be so far away from the people you care about, especially when they’re in trouble or something. This is always the case though, even when I’m in Kalamazoo. One of my biggest fears is that something will happen when I'm somewhere else far away (Hawaii, Michigan, Ecuador, wherever). It’s one of the drawbacks to going on far away adventures, that you leave important people behind, but that’s the risk I guess I chose to take. Again though, I’m glad that everyone is ok and safe and I haven’t had any sort of these distance problems so far.
I’m also still exhausted, despite going to sleep at 930 last night after getting home from the coast, so maybe that explains it all? Maybe a nap will solve my problems, I find that usually helps make weird things go away ;-P
