I'm very excited that I recently received my very stylish ISA t-shirt and host family information!
There are a total of fifteen student in my program from all over the country (I'm the only one from Florida) and we will all be taking our classes together so they will be really small and personal.
Both my host families sound great!
My family in Buenos Aires include two kids my age and I'll be living in the Belgrano neighborhood, which is where my school is located. Apparently its a really nice area great for students with lots of parks, musuems, restaurants, and a great night life. The house that I'm staying in sounds wonderful as well, I'll even have my own bedroom and bathroom!
In Lima, I will be living with a woman in a quiet neighboorhood in a great location and a big house. And it's only a 15 minute walk to campus!
I can't believe that I will soon be living in another country! It totally hit me today that I'll be speaking in Spanish all the time = major butterflies!
I feel like I have to much to do and I don't even know where to start. I fly out tomorrow to Miami, where I'll be staying for a few day until Tuesday night, giving me a day to pack for four months! I guess I'll figure it all out by the time I leave Thursday afternoon...just throw in some clothes and my computer, right? Speaking of my new computer, I'm so excited because it only weighs 3 pounds and is perfect for traveling!
On a side note: GO GATORS!!!! It was so exciting being up in Gainesville in the O'Dome to watch the National Championship game with 10,000 other people. I showed up early to the girl's basketball game beforehand and was able to get first and second row seats! I even caught #44's signed basketball and was on ABC news for a good twenty seconds, not to mention my friends and I were on the jumbotran a bunch of times. After an intense game, we all ran out on to University Ave (I had on a BEAT Oklahoma t-shirt turned superman cape!) and it was insanely packed with crazy people! Definitely a night full of memories. It's great to be a Florida Gator! :)iSola una semana! (Only one week!) Coli
That is crazy! You did not tell me about catching the ball at the game that must have been super exciting. Im going to have a hard time not being able to text you :(.
