Frustrations and Sunburns
Lately, I've been a little down because I don't think I can learn this language. Maybe I'm not supposed to learn it, like maybe learning a language is something I'll never bee able to do. We got our test back this morning and I did horribly. But instead of complaining, I've decided that I need to work harder, especially since I'm learning Spanish for myself. If I don0t succeed, I'll only be disappointed in myself, and many times, that is the worst kind of disappointment.
I'm really sunburned on my arms from Sunday at the ruins. I need to stop getting burned! It will turn into a nice tan and it actually erased the tan line I previously had.
I miss Brian a lot, probably more than I ever have since we've been together. I just want to hug and cuddle him. In his last email, he said the sweetest thing to me: "Sometimes I sleep on the couch because the empty bed reminds me of how much I miss you." I can't wait to see him again just to look into his eyes and tell him how much I love him.
I finally bought our stocks today. Instead of giving Brian $600 for expenses while I'm gone, I decided that it would be better to invest it for the 3 months that I'll be gone. I bought shares in a semiconductor company named Atmel and a medical company called Cytokinetics. Hopefully, they will both do well. I hope they do as well as my imaginery stocks that I had.

So, I've been thinking all day about what to say in response today (I know, I know, I'm a dork). And, you don't have to post this; I won't be upset.
The other day, Robert and Anne both said that things seem to be going well for you (from what they've read here). I said that that may be what it seems but you really are struggling with the language and being away from Brian.
From what you've said in the first paragraph, I just have to say this: (snd I've said it many, many times) you ALWAYS do this. You always beat yourself up over your school work and studying and get really frustrated when you don't do as good as you want. But, everything always works out. You always do well on your final tests and papers. The extra stress you put on yourself just doesn't help the situation.
You know you are smart. We all know you are smart so stop beating yourself up over this. You will do fine if you just buckle down (did I really just say that?) and put your mind to it.
You know I'm right.
Oh, and Brian really does miss you a lot. It's so sweet!
So, I just re-read my comment, and I meant to say, "...when you don't do as well as you want."
I really do know my grammer.
