So once again I am wondering if I am 22 or 4. I have been having nightmares the last few days, and last night I lost a good amount of sleep fom a pretty bad one. I woke up around 3:30 in the morning from a nightmare. I sat in bed dreading to go back to sleep. I couldn't deal with the thought of returning to the nightmare. This particular one had been extrmely emotionally distressing and I felt emotionally and mentally drained. I just sat there in my bed debating over whether I could go back to sleep or not. I finally decided, in my half awake state that the best plan of action would be to pray. So I prayed and slowly God helped me fall back asleep. I find that my dreams are fairly vivid and emotional. Time for audience participation: do you guys have dreams like that? Do you ever wake up with your pillow wet from crying while you were dreaming? Are your dreams ever so sweet that you can't stop smiling all day? Just some questions...
I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.
