Making Do

UGH! San Antonio is so boring! And I really mean it, too...

Since my last blog, I have watched an entire season of Ugly Betty. This does not bode well for "training myself" for Peru.

On Saturday, one of my best friends from home, Sarah, and I went to La Cantera, where she did a job application for Anthropologie. Oddly enough, I applied to work there two summers ago, but now it makes perfect sense to me that they wouldn't hire me, because the people working there are quite glamorous and I can't really picture myself working there anyhow. Sarah, I think, has a much better shot at it. =) Anyway, I had a lot of fun hanging out with her, especially afterwards, when we went to play tennis at the courts in the park and then danced BF/ played the accordion at my house.

Also, I reserved a bed at my first hostel in Peru. On the upside, it's about a hundred meters from the beach, and it has a ninety-three percent approval rating based on over three hundred responses. On the downside, it's a hostel. At least I'll get to meet people, though.

As today was memorial day, I went to my family's house for some barbecue and cake. Originally planned was a blowout, but as it turns out, it was much smaller, I think due to illnesses and the like. Both my brother and sister was there, and it was nic to see them. Alfred has lost a lot of weight (I almost couldn't believe it when I saw him) and Emily is having boy trouble..?! How do these things happen?

I can't wait for June 10th. It feels so far away, especially when I think about the course of the week. This whole business of having long stretches of boredom, punctuated by occassional moments of fun, is quite draining. Summer's nice, but I'm ready for Yale now. No, that's not right... I'm ready for an adventure. Peru. Honduras or Mexico City? It'll all happen soon enough, or at least I'll keep telling myself so. Till then, though, I'll make do.
