Hello ya'll, and welcome to this blog of mine! :D Quite frankly, this is my third attempt at maintaining a blog (the first being for a club back in high school, and the second as a personal blog for writing), and I'm hoping this blog is actually successful (aka I'll maintain it on a regular basis).
So, the main reason I have this blog set up is to detail my adventures in Merida. Why am I going there, you ask? Well, this is no simple vacation. Rather, this is a study abroad trip I am taking with BYU-Provo down to Merida, Mexico for Summer term. While I'm in Merida I will live with a host family, take Spanish 205 (which I need for my major) and Spanish 211, practice my Spanish on a daily basis, and explore/learn about the culture there.
How do I feel about this trip? I'm actually excited by now. Since I actually registered for this study abroad trip I've been alternating between being excited and dreading the trip. Part of that is because I've been depressed lately, and another part is that I really miss my boyfriend who currently is living about 600 miles away from me. However, by now I'm doing better and am feeling happy, so I'm back to looking forward to this trip.
Right now I'm actually visiting family in California, but once I'm back from that I'll finish packing and preparing for going down to Merida. I have a few things I still need to buy, but beyond those few things essentially I just need to pack it all up. I'm happy I was able to find a good size pouch a few weeks ago to carry money and documents out of sight the two months I'm gone. It was a Kanga-pouch something I found at the Sister Missionary Mall in UT, and seriously, it's fantastic! It fits my passport nicely.
Yeah... I can't think of what else to say. Oh, I hope you enjoy reading about my escapades! I'll post pictures to go along with my written logs of everything, too, to make it 20% cooler. :)
