I´m in a weird mood. (Oh, and I apologise for the accents instead of apostrophes, I´m at an internet cafe.)
I maybe got glutened this morning? There were corn tortillas, and I think tortilla factories here are more likely to have cross contamination problems. I had a weird headache thing earlier that is usually a sign of gluten, but I don´t know.
The family I´m staying with is really nice, but I think the whole homestay thing is kind of stressing me out. Like, I´m worried I should be hanging out with them more or something instead of reading and doing homework in my room. But I also don´t want to be in the way. And I´m doing reasonably well at understanding people when they´re talking to me, but when they´re talking to each other it´s too fast for me to understand, which is kind of awkward, sitting there with no idea what´s going on.
Also, people keep asking me what I´m going to do that day or this weekend, so I feel like there´s kind of all this pressure to like have adventures and cultural experiences and stuff, and I don´t really feel like it. I probably will eventually, but at the moment I´m pretty satisfied with doing lots of Spanish homework and messing around on my computer at the school and at the house.
…Okay, you guys are stuck with half a blog entry, because I´m like tearing up in the internet cafe and I´m not into that. Damn it.
Though it should be noted that up till last night I felt fine, so who knows.

It’s just one day. Stop being so hard on yourself. You are doing great!

As you know Maddy, the difficulties of the days will ebb and flow. Let them wash through you. I know you as a strong and very capable young woman. Try to keep a level head and you’ll do great.
