Our first week, Miguél Angél told us one thing, over and over. We all have abonos, or monthly bus/train/public transportation passes, and it was free, and he told us: DO NOT LOSE THIS. It costs close to $100US to replace.
Guess what?
I was unnaturally nasty to myself as I tore apart my room searching for the bright red card. I was yelling at myself, calling myself and idiot (and worse), and then, to boot, I was a grumpy, ignorant, and "emo" Griffin around my Alcalá friends. Sorry everyone.
Yea...that sucked.
But my program director just told me that he has an extra in his office, just in case we lost it. So it's all good.
But I was so nasty to myself, and so nasty around others, and I don't like it when I get that way.
I guess all I want to say is...SORRY. To my Alcalá family...and to myself.

It's ok, honey, we all get a little out of control sometimes. We all love you, even when you're upset.

Wow! Mothers are so much more comforting than fathers. Or is it just me? Hmmmmm...

ReplyDeleteSorry you had to go through all of that. I know your world. So, if I were you, (And I am), next time, do what everyone else does...Blame someone else...Like your program director. How dare he strike fear into your little innocent hearts, when the whole time he had a footlocker filled with those bus passes. To me that is just plain manipulation. Maybe it stems from the latent hostility towards American students. Who knows? All I know is next time, re-direct that 'unnatural nastiness' to where it belongs..."The MAN" or in your case, "The HOMBRE".
Love ya!

On another note...Perhaps you can change the name of your blog to "G R I E F in Spain". Just a thought.

I'll think about it, Gary. But this pun is too good to pass up on.
