Missing people

So if you ever get to go to Belize, visit the zoo.  It is one of the few places that has the animals in basically their own environment.  The place is huge.  It means that you might not get to see some of the animals because they hide, but at least you know that they are probably pretty happy there, for the most part.  It's a pretty neat place.  And apparently lots of mostly famous people have visited there, like Dolly Parton and Steve Irwin.  Just know, at some point in your stay in any new country, you will get sick…possibly even more than a few times.  Imodium chewables will be your bestfriend…make sure you take a lot of them with you.
Also I started to realize that my friends (all guys) would probably get along fine without me, it was me would was not getting along fine without them.  Looking back I realize that they were all my life lines to reality, otherwise I tended to wander off into my head and get lost there.  They grounded me.  Although they did cause me the most drama and heartache that I would ever experience.  In some ways it was worse than highschool.  This was my first and longest time without my boys though.  And I guess it got me ready slightly.  I needed to try and be something on my own, rather than defining myself in relation to everyone else.
