Orion, my protector in the sky, be with me tonight.

My new blog!

Hi everyone! Check out my new blog made especially for my culinary creations, experiments, and failures. It will be fun and the more people who get involved, the better it will be! So just do it! http://theeatingexperimentsofagirlwithabook.blogspot.com/

corinne and corinnia

So... I am feeling quite inspired by julie and julia, I have yet to read the book but I love the movie, so I am setting a goal of my own. All I must do now is choose the cookbook, which, I should be doing today.
Cooking is something I love to do, it makes me smile on the worst of days and occasionally cry at my terrible mishaps. But still, I love it. So that is my goal, 1 cookbook to be finished one recipe at a time, one year from today.
Wish me luck!

Vampire

I woke up this morning looking like a vampire.
And not the beautiful twilight sort, but instead like vlad the impaler reincarnated

Talk about pale with bags under the eye!I blame it on a not so good night's sleep. So I decided to get a haircut, and now I look like this:

well at least i feel like that :D

It turns out, I'm a nerd

Just seeing the periodic table of elements makes my heart beat faster.


Plato makes me laugh.

And when I get into a book it becomes as important as my actual life.

But, i am certainly not complaining. And if I am a nerd, at least I am a sort of cute one.

Mixed Emotions

SO I am going home tomorrow and I have never been so excited in my life, except perhaps every Christmas eve :) My bags are packed although I had to chuck pretty much half my material possessions into the trash to be able to fit it into my bags, goodbye textbooks, half my already way too small wardrobe, my pillow, and random things that I can hopefully live without. I am ready to be home, but I am also sad to leave, sad because I will miss Maritza and the boys, sad because I had big plans for my Spanish learning, and sad because I have come to love Mexico. I am happy because I am ready to move on, and because I do not like the feeling of doing a job that is not mine without being appreciated for it. So now I will spend a night without sleep, because I am not capable of sleeping when excited, and then I will come home tomorrow hopefully to snow.

Decision.

So I have been feeling a little weird about my job here in Mexico for awhile, I feel like the job I am doing is not the one that I was expecting, nor the one described in the contract and finally yesterday I talked to Carmen. It turns out that neither of us are satisfied with my stay here, so I am coming home. It was an adventure indeed and although I am a little sad to have it end, mostly I am just ready for the next. I have learned that it is not worth it to stay somewhere where you are under appreciated and taken for granted. I know that good things are coming for me, and I am excited to experience them.
