new yearss?




The end of the year.. but what does that really mean? Nothing really. I’m sure when the calendar first emerged by the Aztecs there was some type of regenerating ceremony pertaining to rebirth but now I just see as a fabricated notion that was made up by Weight Watchers or some other company promising a new life.

In reality it is a new beginning for me. But this is the first time really since I think I was in third grade (when I moved to Mexico for a while) for an opportunity like this to present itself and for a completely new life to be laid out before me.

BURGESS JESSICAGladys Palau (Mother, 63 years old, house keeper)FAMILY MEMBERS:Gustavo (Son, 25 years old, student )Gladys Vanesa (Daughter , 20 years old, student )

That is my home stay information. Am I excited? Yes and no. I think anyone moving in with a new family has a bit of apprehension. I think it’s great that there is someone so close to my age that can really show me the town to the level I want to see it. I want to know what all the local college kids do and this will be a great link into their lives. But something tells me that living with a 20 year old host sister could present me with a few problems. Who really knows though, Gladys Vanesa could become the sister I never had. Haha.

I am having a bit of anxiety. I had a crazy dream about the family and everything that you could imagine went wrong. Let’s just hope that my dream doesn’t come true.

As January 7th approaches the reality of me being away for so long becomes a lot more real. I keep having second thoughts. I have talked myself out of it a few times but then know that this is something that I have to do. Something that I have wanted for a long time.

I have no idea what to expect. Lets leave it that way. Open heart open mind!
