A Month in Mexico

I am currently in a unique stage of my life- my early twenties. At 21, I am not yet responsible for a family, a full time job or mortgage payments. In June of 2008, however, I will graduate college and will begin to pursue a career, a permanent living situation, and an independent life for myself. This last year of college, therefore, is my last chance to live and study abroad for any significant length of time, and I have decided to take it. Tonight I am leaving for Mexico, and I will be studying Spanish there at a language school for one month. I had three years of Spanish in high school, but it has been 5 years so I'm a bit rusty. My Spanish is decent enough that I'll be able to get around okay, but I am really looking forward to an intensive review of verb conjugation, etc... Seeing as my host family does not speak any English, I should get a lot of practice in! This is going to be quite an adventure.

Tonight my family is going out to dinner to celebrate my sister and dad's birthdays. It is also a send off dinner for me although I won't be getting any presents. :) At 12:30 am, I am catching a red eye flight, and I should arrive in Mexico about 10:00 am. I am really excited to have such an amazing opportunity, but traveling alone does make me a little nervous. For the last two weeks that I am there, however, my close friend Gitta will be flying down to study with me. It will be so wonderful to have a friend! We were both in Mexico this past April on vacation with my parents, so it will be fun to catch up with the friends that we made.

Wish me luck, ya'll! I'll post pictures as soon as I can.
