Preparing for my 5 month Journey to Mexico
For starters, I depart from Kansas City Airport on August 20th at 7am to fly to Miami, Florida for the Gateway Orientation with ALL the kids from USA going to a Latin American country. I will be the only one there going to Mexico. :) As I sit here typing this Blog, I've been thinking of how my experience will turn out. Will it be wonderful? Will something go wrong? Will I make many friends? Just so many things race through my mind. The only things that worry me about my absence here in Kansas is my family and few of my friends. I am VERY excited to begin this journey and learn a new culture and its language. In the past few weeks I've been gathering things together that I'm taking with my and putting them on my desk. I've been wondering if I'll OVER pack at all.. hahaha :D
Now, a little about where I'll be staying in Mexico. I'll be living in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco. It is a suburb of Guadalajara. I'll be taking a train to school everyday. :) The family I'll be living with seem like a very nice couple. This is their first time Hosting, so I hope to make it the best experience for both of us!
I've already told people that that I can't keep much contact with home. This is to prevent homesickness and to keep me submerged in the culture. I'll try to update this blog sometimes and I'll be on facebook at times. To whom ever read this blog, let me tell you this, you may still send me messages through facebook or any other way, but I'm not going to guarantee you that I will respond. I will promise you that I'll read them. :) This doesn't mean that you can't message me, you can try and I might reply.
I'll do my best to update this blog with pictures and more stories.
ADIOS!!
