Monday, August 31st

I can't believe a week has already gone by! We just have a little over 13 weeks left here! We had our first day of classes today which meant I only had one class from 8:30 to 9:30. But, I have kept myself busy today by working on homework for that class, taking a nap, eating of course :) and writing a blog with another Central girl that is here for the Central College Abroad website. I just thought I would let everyone know that my first day of class went well! I love the professor. Her name is Sylvia and she is still earning her PhD, so she is just a few years older than us! She just got back 2 months ago after spending two years at Ohio University getting her masters in English, Spanish, and teaching. She is a hoot and a spit-fire. It is great to understand her humor and being able to communicate back and forth. I truly feel that I have learned so much Spanish after being in Merida for only 8 days. I love it here and I'm starting to notice that I probably will have a very hard time leaving... That is all for today. I just wanted to keep everyone that is reading in the loop! Unlike today, I have 4 classes tomorrow....we will have to see how that goes!

Also, if you think of it or feel led, my director, Val, wasn't here today because she has the stomach flu. The office people didn't even know if she would be back tomorrow...so some prayers for her would be greatly appreciated!
