Dear Friends, I am now writing to you from Orlando again. Even as I write, my heart breaks in two, because I cannot be in two places at once. Therefore, I leave a piece of my heart in Puerto Rico, and I leave it exactly where I will find it and pick it up the next time I return. I am still working on my article (on a local Spanish bakery in Bayamon). I hope to publish soon, as it is an endeavor which I hope will keep me busy enough so as to not think so much about what I am truly missing out on. A few days ago, I awoke early and watched in pure delight as my two-year-old cousin woke up and observed me, playfully. She babbled and laughed, and looked like a tiny, scrawny little angel in her celestial bed. My four-year-old cousin's eyes were red and puffy yesterday, from all the crying as she said goodbye to us. My grandmother and my aunt will stay with us for a week, and we flew to Fort Lauderdale, rented a car, and ended up rolling in at about 2:30 last night! I start going back to class on Monday, something which I am only half looking forward to. In a desperate attempt to get my mind back on track, I will hopefully hang out with a friend today. Maybe she can help me cope with the stress of feeling split in two all the time. Now I will write a bit in Spanish. Espero que mis amigos nuevos del grupo de jovenes en Bayamon no me olviden. Quiero tambien seguir con mi sueno de escribir musica, y tal vez algun dia cantar con mi primo, quien tiene tremenda voz. Pienso poner fotos en mi blog, pero he tratado y no tengo idea de como, asi que si tu sabes, porfavor escribeme. Que Dios Los Bendiga (God Bless), Laurita ;)
