I apologize for the vulgar title, you can blame my siblings.
I received an email last night from a woman who runs the show for our program giving us final details about registering with the state and what not. I got to the bottom and she discusses luggage. I want you all to read closely. She told us that we should be able to carry-on all of our luggage. I repeat, carry-on every single piece of luggage on the air craft that we will wear for 4 MONTHS. And I'm over here like, well I already have 7 swim suits and 12 pairs of Nike shorts packed soooo...that's a bridge I'll have to think about crossing relatively soon here.
On Monday morning my flight leaves at 6am. Yikes. I wasn't kidding when I said I have the best team mates ever who are voluntarily bringing me to the airport around 4am (okay maybe not all voluntarily...) from Minneapolis I'll fly to Miami where I will meet up with 7 of the 8 students I will be spending the next four months with! It's cool because while the trip I'm going on is a program through Augsburg, I'm the only Augsburg student going this semester which just means I get to meet fun new people! This is what I am the most excited about.
I'll be in Guatemala City by around 3pm Monday. There's no time change from Minnesota to any of the countries I'm going to. Crazy, but also very convenient. We spend a night in Guatemala City and then make our way to Quetzaltenango where we will spending about 3 weeks with host families. There I will be taking a one on one Spanish course, 5 hours a day...I barely speak a lick of Spanish so that will be quite interesting. New environment, new culture, new people. I can/want to/will adapt.
I'm excited, anxious, nervous, scared shitless, and every other emotion in the book. I'm just ready for it to all start! EEK.
Later gators,
Hannah
