Wichita

Kelsey's aunt's house 

The picture shows how was my reception in Kelsey's aunt's house, in Wichita. My last day in Pittsburg was a mix of crying moments and the good feeling about everything I had done until there.

Being with Kelsey's family was the perfect last experience in Kansas. I couldn't mention a place I had been enjoying in the USA that they were ready to drive me there for the last time. 

I visited the "Keeper of the Plains" monument, and I watched a lot of movies, some of them traditional stories in the United States. We also had lunch and dinner together in different places I said I loved. It was almost Christmas, so we drove to see the lights and beautiful decorated houses. 

Nevertheless, the best part of being in Wichita was the time I spent with Kelsey and her family. They all were my host family for a week, and I swear there is not better experience for an international student rather than that. 

I really appreciate the time and the attention they spent with me.

Last Week in Pittsburg

My last days in Pittsburg were difficult. It was final week, and I had a lot to do, including studying for my finals. I knew I would never see again my friends, my roommates, and the campus. Although, I tried to enjoy every single minute and make them turn into unique moments.

I will never forget the ones who took a special place in my life.

It's hard to talk, even expressing my feelings with words.

I just wanna thank everybody for making my experience in USA incredible.

I'm sure who was there is gonna understand this post, the video, and the pictures.

I'm already missing that time.

Thanksgiving Break in St. Louis

Tim, Laurie, Fabio, Felipe, Natalia, Juan Pedro, Carla, and Claudia. 

Wednesday morning, sunny day, Pittsburg empty. After spending the entire Tuesday night cleaning my house, Thanksgiving break in St. Louis was waiting for me. A good coffee in the car, awesome friends, and a lot of fun.

Even not finding a place to have lunch on Thursday, we enjoyed every single moment of our trip. Also, the dinner was wonderful. We went to Walmart and bought a cooked chicken, garlic bread, grapes, an apple pie.

Our Friday started in BestBuy's line. After having good food, we went to visit the Arch and shop at the mall. Hurry up. We still had time to get ready to party.

Last day was to have lunch in The Cheesecake Factory. And, while boys went to visit a beer factory, we girls stayed shopping at the mall.

It's difficult to explain in words what happened in our trip, the only thing I can say we had a lot of fun. It's awesome and, of course, we did our best.

First Snow in Pittsburg

It was cold, cloudy and windy. It was Wednesday. I don’t know why, but cloudy days make me feel upset. The cold was not so intensive, but the wind made me feel my face hurting and frozen. 

I was heading to my last class, and some ice flakes started to follow down from sky. In few minutes, they became more intensive, and a wonderful white view took place. 

There were still some orange leaves in the trees, and squirrels were playing. 

That day, I spent my class time looking through the window and enjoying the beautiful view.
