Muchas lugares.....menos tiempo!

Wow time has flown by so so fast!! I now only have about 13 days left here and I am amazed at how fast the days have gone by. My keyboard is broken on my laptop so thats the main reason I have not made an entry but also because I am constantly staying busy. I have really started to feel at home here and I really enjoy my days...except getting up at 7am everyday for school. I like my classes and they really have taught me alot, but I really hate going every morning. I know that I have learned alot of spanish but Im probably not really aware of how much I am really learning. I can understand conversations as well as read and write really well but as for fluent conversation, I feel like I still struggle. It seems that my mind and my mouth just doesnt connect when I try to speak spanish. Ofcourse, Im sure it will be the last week here that it finally clicks and then I have to come home. Oh well, this has been such an incredible experience and I am so grateful to have been able to come here. It has really opened my eyes as well as my perspective of other cultures and how the rest of the world lives. I have witnessed some of the worst living conditions as well as some of the most interesting cultural differences. I feel like my time here, so far, has been very well rounded and has forced me to deal with situations outside my comfort zone. I have learned alot about myself especially when i have been put in some really terrifying situations that really inforce the importance of being aware of my surroundings at all times. I have met some really cool people here who are travellers just passing through, most of which are young women travelling on their own. I have been to a beautiful canyon, visited an indiginous zapatista villages where they really do all wear black masks, cave diving, climbed a waterfall, visited different colored lakes, climbed ancient Mayan ruins, and many countless memorable experiences not including the nights out on the town with my friends. Over all, This Is Awesome!!!!
