farewell melissa

here's a paste of melissa's farewell message that she requested i post:

I decided to leave Mexico early due to some further complications with my oldest, furry child, Jasmine. Another disc is bulging and putting pressure on Jasmine’s spine, so I came home to help Willy care for her. I also had some medical problems myself while I was in Mexico, mainly due to stomach problems. I went to my doctor as soon as I got home, and I found out that I’d lost 10lbs and I have some amoeba friends I brought back from Mexico in my intestines (I named the worm Herman the Wormin…hehe). I greatly enjoyed my time in Mexico and I look forward to going back for more schooling there in the future. I met some wonderful people during my trip and saw some awesome sights. The time I spent there gave me a great jumpstart to speaking more Spanish on a regular basis, and I plan to keep taking classes throughout this summer and fall. Many thanks to everyone for their love and support!!
