Michael here.

Well, Lan Anh and I are back. She is, precisely, in Albuquerqie New Mexico, I am here in Berkeley, California. She is participating in the world youth JAM with “youth for environmental sustainability”. I am here in Berkeley feeling very unaccustomed… missing Lan Anh a lot… out of my place… as my place for the last few months was Ecuador and Cuba. The words on the wall seems alien but somehow I understand it all. I was quite busy the last few weeks in Ecuador… which is why I didnt update for the 20 days I did not. I suppose ill either update some thoughts, definately put pictures up… in the next few weeks.

Ill be here for a few days… going to stay with Sonny…. and try to read and write a lot in spanish.

Today I have 2 appointments. one with my PEIS major councelor… one to see an apartment. Ill also be working on my CV and resume to try to find a job… thinking of my dad, who is going to see my grandfather in North Carolina..

America feels too big, too fast right now… i got used to being surrounded by lations and now im giggling at seeing so many people who just look different to me. i guess i probably look like I fit in, but I dont feel like I do.
