i came back home for the weekend yesterday, am leaving again tomorrow. it's been good to see my family, and it's been a beautiful day :) i've been reading My Antonia and so far i looove it. i love these few lines at the end of chapter 2:
"I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep."
buenos tardes mis amigos!
