A visit to the past through photographs of the pages of my journals during six months study abroad in Paraguay in 1994. I have numbered the entries as they will be most enjoyable and make the most sense in order!

And now for English
I realized that I was being silly with all my worries of boredom. I finally have all the time I want to do the things I love to do: reading, painting, writing, playing my guitar, running, writing in my journal, making, creating, enjoying, taking deep breaths, and sitting in the sunshine. All the wonderful peaceful things I believe make me a more beautiful person. I should be able to leave here knowing how to play a few pretty songs, with a few simple paintings, some new poetry, a good mile time, and a scrapbook and journal full of wonderful memories. I am going to become such a calm mellow person. Maybe I'll buy some material and see if I can try sewing some clothes. Maybe make a sarong or some baggy pants. And I want to find some beads. There are so many wonderful things to do I can't wait until I get my pictures developed so I can start on my scrapbook. It is going to be colorful and awesome. It is going to reflect the mellow artistic time I had here. I'm on sabbatical at 16!
Practicing Spanish : 25
Este dia yo fui a Colonel de Oviedo para una reunion de estudiantes de AFS. Mi familia y Marnie manijimos de la ciudad. Trudi, Marnie, yo, Jeanean, y una Thailandesa nuestras familias estuvimos aya. Nosotros comimos mucho, y un muchacho loco toco una guitarra para mucho tiempo. Me divertí mucho. Fui una buen día.
