So sitting in the Houston airport readying myself to jump on the plane to fly to Mexico and complete the move to the south I ask myself, what brings me to this point. A month and a half ago I was in Clubmed savouring the idea of Canada and now I find myself departing from the very same place that gave me so much joy to think about. Well it still causes me great joy especially after having a month, which truly solidifies my strong friendships with my friends and my fantastically close ties with my parents. It all began with a visit from Jorge, my Mexican love, which brought on numerous questions. Do we stay together even with all of these issues of citizenship/culture/financial means? If so, how do we do it? While battling these questions I dealt with numerous medical issues that arose from my time in Clubmed, as well as immigration issues which began immediately when Jorge hit Canadian soil, these were among some of the problems which put a strain on the spontaneity of our time together. Regardless, I took him to the airport on June12 with the promise that I would see him soon. Early the next morning I was in the hospital. Being a girl who has been healthy her whole life and has never broken a bone nor had any surgery to truly speak of, this was a blow to the system and the emotional reserves I had been saving. Needless to say my time was to be extended in Canada. Although I would not be seeing Jorge for nearly a month after he left, I was given precious time that was spent with my mother and my friends as well as a special friend, Smudge, my 15year old dalmation that had to be put down due to our pledge to have her move on with grace and dignity. My mother and I were able to critically talk about our house and emotionally step back and conclude that this has all been perfect timing. I think though, the most fantastic part of my time at home is the motivation it gave me to find something in Mexico that I truly love so that it drives me to stay. So I can safely say that I am a fully insured diver with fantastic equipment to boot, I will enter my instructor program in August and then who knows. I have decided to finish the puzzle in my diving career that will allow me to be hireable around internationally.
Even after no sleep, and thinking I could barrel through after a late night car accident witnessing and a truly enjoyable ride with my dad, I thought the excitement could carry me through, my dozing eyes say differently. One thing I can say is that I’m happy that I am doing something that makes me happy and that I feel confident with my research and preparation that I can sit back and flow, finally embrace spontaneity and enjoy my longstanding love affair with a country and culture I will continue to embrace.
