Two days till plane time. Let the packing commence.I'm ready to be back in Peru again. And not even half as nervous as I was. I think this semester might be even better than last, partly because I don't have a bunch of pie in the sky goals: understand everything, fully adjust to surroundings, hardly ever speak English. Ha! What was I thinking?
You know those speeches they give you in high school about how hard you have to work because this will affect you for the rest of your life? It's my firm belief that they should have made another room for the overachievers in which they told us to calm the heck down and enjoy life.
In fact just about my biggest goal this time around is to make my connecting flight. I didn't last time, and so ensued a long evening involving missed shuttles, heart-shaped tubs, and Kahlua. That may sound much worse than it actually was.
Alright, alright, I probably will make a few small goals when I'm there. It's what I do. But seriously, I really just want to enjoy it this time.
that is a very very good idea dani. =)
ReplyDeleteenjoy it as much as you can.
because, believe me, time will fly by and you'll wonder what happened.
so just have fun, be aware that it will end, but don't let that hinder you from getting involved or invested in anything.
and good luck with your connecting flight. =)
have fun in Peru!!! Be safe and keep posting awesome posts.
ReplyDeleteGod bless! :)
Have fun...enjoy your time there....and get started with the packing...:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous Dani!!!
ReplyDeletePlease do slow down and enjoy your time. And you'll probably find that you accomplish some great things anyway!!!
I hope you have a fabulous time, make all your flights, get your full visa, don't get anything stolen, and that you find the most AMAZING host family ever....(well, 2nd most amazing, cuz mine was the most amazing). That was a long list, but I do hope for all of it. I'll be praying for you!!!
Good luck and enjoy! Keep the updates coming...

ReplyDelete^^^ I can get behind this.
Can't even begin to express how much more I wish I had enjoyed my youth instead of being super-preoccupied with that 4.0GPA (not that I'm not proud of it...I just think I probably could achieved it with a little less stress and a smidge more fun!)
