Back in Houston

Everything is familiarly different. I can't stop comparing it to Spain. I'm even starting to annoy my own self. I wonder how long this is going to continue before I force myself to stop. Right off the plane I was greeted by the muggy weather. Later that day I went to pick up my car from the mechanic. In the dirt and pine needles I noticed bottle caps of American beers. I notice the people here look so different; they dress so different. Driving feels like a video game. I know I should be scared but it's fun to go so fast. I hadn't really been in a car for four months.

Houston is boring me. I want to go out and walk around but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go. Everything requires too much driving and money. I've resorted to sitting around on the computer half dressed. Taking too many showers because there's nothing better to do. Today I watched a melodramatic telenovela to see if I could understand anything. Actually, I can, and it's even trashier than I imagined. I'm going to try to get hooked on one to cling to my Spanish listening skills.

I want to go to the theater and watch movies in English.

I'm wondering what I should do with this blog. If I should re-title it or start a different, more permanent blog. I have no desire to return to the LiveJournal world.

In news related to my life in Texas, I found out that I was accepted for an internship at KXAN in Austin this spring. It will be my last internship in Austin and my last chance to gather material for my resume tape. Definitely no blogging this time. As my dad says, "Cut the blogging, start the reporting." Haha, good advice probably. I also found out I got to the second round for the internship program I am applying for in the New York City this summer. I came really close to getting it last summer, but got cut after phone interviews. Hopefully this year I have better luck. Though it'll mean quitting my Spanish major and probably having to live in Houston with my mom for a little bit while I look for a job this fall. Whatever...it's all too much in the future. I need to do what I want to do right now.
