That moment when you realize that you're actually happy!

I have been in Bolivia for 5 months, 24 days, 7 hours, 53 ish minutes and some-odd seconds yet today was the first time that it actually felt totally completely happy. Ever since we got back to school my life here in Bolivia has taken a significant turn on the positive side! This year is so much better than last, I understand everyone and I can converse with them, I can understand the jokes and can make them myself, I am making friends that are actually friends (kinda hard to explain but when you're the exchange student everyoneish wants to be your friend, sometimes only for the sake of saying that they are friends with the exchange student, now im starting to make friends who actually act as friends!)and everything is just better! I no longer am afraid to make a fool of myself ( I have learned that it is going to happen whether or not I want it to) and im more confidant and all that jazz, not to mention the fact that I am pretty much fluent! HURRAY
Today at school I got to teach my entire class a game that I learned in Canada and everyone loved it, it is now working its way around the school and I am proud to say that I got to share that with all of them. More than anything else, I realized that I am no longer on the outside of the glass looking in, I am now part of the scene. Like yesterday for instance, 2 of my good friends from school just showed up at my house and from there we went to the market and hung out in the plaza, that is something that I would do with my friends back home. It is just that everything clicked into place and I am more happy than I think I have ever been on my exchange and I didn't even realize it! Before I was happy but now it is different, its like happy and home and comfortable all at the same time!
Not to mention Carnaval blew my mind! but that is for another story :)
