It's always a little strange to come back to the states after being out of the country for a long period of time. There are so many things that I get accustomed to that are different here, and it always takes me a while to adjust. Like for example, I didn't turn on the hot water for the first week at least because it didn't occur to me that something would come out. I don't have hot water in Cuba and normally if you turn it on, nothing at all comes out. Also, I forgot that I could heat my food in the microwave. I usually just put things on the stove, so I didn't use the microwave for at least the first two weeks. To be honest, I didn't even see it. Funny how things don't even cross your mind when they're out of habit.
Anyways, I'm back again, and I'm happy to be here. This summer is not truly a vacation summer, which has been really rough on me. For the last year, I've been studying...and not like I usually study a few hours a day. I've been studying 6-8 hours a day everyday including Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays sometimes to get ready for my first board exam. Likewise, I've been studying 12 hours a day since I've been home isolated from all but one family member, so that I will be ready to pass my board exam next month.
This studying is torture! It really is. I don't really like to study, and this much studying and forcing of information into my head is really hard on me. But I am dedicated and steadfast and won't lose focus of my goal. Just pray for me, and I'll be out of this soon enough. Then I'll have a few weeks to talk to all of you lovely folks and have some resemblance of a vacation before I get back to start my 4th year!
