Déjame en paz!

It's possible that you've heard me say this expression before.  I actually learned it in my first day of college Spanish.  One of the students didn't know the answer to the question and he told the teacher "leave me alone."  She immediately responded with, "Déjame en paz!" and said that if you were going to say it, you'd better say it in Spanish.

I've actually found myself extremely busy this week, what with trying to get settled into my apartment and learning the bus system and getting familiar enough with the town to get around without my map and so on and so on.  All of these extra chores on top of the fact that I've received so much correspondence and have obligated myself to so much return correspondence that I'm kind of drowning in it.  I haven't even written here because of it.  It makes me wonder how all of you other bloggers find the time.

So I'm here to tell you, that I love you all, that I'm definitely thinking about you and talking about you to my new friends, but that I'm just not ready nor do I really have the time to do more than read my email.  I think I might even start avoiding facebook to a degree.  I have a million things that I want to talk about on this blog, but instead I feel like I'm just responding to emails and giving tidbits to individual people and then everyone else misses out on those things.

So please don't be offended, but I would need a clone to sit at home all day and respond to emails.  Thanks for thinking of me, and hopefully I'll do another post quite soon, now that I'm liberating myself from the emails. :P
