Hey people, I have been doing some thinking today about my life here. Is it better here? Well, I have left everything in the US. My friends, my family, my good job, my school, and my girlfriend. Some might say this is crazy. Why would I leave all that? Here I get paid worse, I'm not going to school (that much), I do have good friends, but no girlfriend. Sometimes, though, I get happy knowing that I'm living somewhere else. Especially a place as crazy as Guatemala. But here, also, life can get boring or lonely. It isn't that I can't find women down here, but women here are a lot different. They are usually very religious. Plus, I wouldn't want to start something and then just leave them in 9 months
I found out today that Anna isn't coming to travel with me over Christmas break. She just told me last night. I'm a little bummed and angry mostly because I made all these plans and now I have nothing to do. I also will be alone on Christmas. Don't worry I'll be fine, but it is now different than I planned. I am still going to Tikal and some
other places over the break, but not everywhere that I had planned. So, is my life better here? Yes and no, but at least I am seeing new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures. That to me is better. Anyway, hope everyone is well and I miss you all.
