Winding down, heating up!

Hey all!

Soo...my intensive Spanish course has officially ended and I am leaving for Cataratas (Iguazu) today. Hooray! Apparently I got the highest grade on the final exam, which I was not expecting at all, and so I pulled of a 10! (An A). That pretty much made my day so far. And we got out early because we only really had to review our exam.

So like I said, I'm leaving for Cataratas tonight around 7, which should be tons of fun! Our bus trip is overnight and i hear those are really cool with service and full beds and whatnot. I am going with two girls from here, who are super nice so I'm sure that'll be good too. Saturday we have pretty much a free day and then sunday we go to the falls and spend the whole day in the park. Monday we're going to the some mines and the the jesuit ruins, and then head back on Tuesday. I'll give more details about the trip when I get back. And photos!

When I get back I will have the rest of the week free and I'm hoping to do some stuff in there and see a few places. But the following Monday I start classes! I cannot believe that I've been here for a month already. The time has absolutely flown so far. I'm a little nervous for real classes to start for a couple reasons. One reason is that I think they will be a little bit harder. I am taking Tango, which will be fun, Literature, Latin American History, and Developmental Psych. Those are subject to change, but they are all in Spanish and I'm not really sure the format of the class. I guess I'll find out! The other reason that I'm nervous is because I hardly go to class! I only have classes mon-wed. and normally in the states I would be super excited, but here I feel like I won't know what to do with all of the free time. I'm hoping that I can find someplace to volunteer and I'm sure I'll have a lot of exploring to do. It will also be nice to have Thurs, Friday, and the weekends free to travel. I guess I will know in about a week!

Anyways, I'm meeting Chris and Abby for lunch...so I can wish Chris farewell because he leaves this weekend. Like I said, I can't believe this month is over already!! I hope all is well at home and you're all in my prayers! :-)

XOXO
