Day 2
I know I've been MIA for about a month... and as my sister has informed me, i haven't blogged about finals! about moving out! about roommates graduating! about getting excited for traveling! etc... I also never summed up my semester back, anything with AIESEC lately, and much more... Maybe i'll feel an urge later on to sum up all that stuff and get it down on paper (blog?), but otherwise, it might just be a month of thoughts that will only stay thoughts.
So moving on- School is done, and Sara and I are in GUATEMALA! What a whirlwind of a 48 hours. We left Tuesday at 2am from madison and arrived at 230pm in Guatemala City. Two of my best friends here were there with big open arms waiting for us. We spent the next 2 hours catching up and plotting how we were going to surprise everyone at the Academy where I worked last summer.
We decided to go get some food and then head over to the Academy at 5 when everyone was on their break. Of course, when we were eating we ran into two other great friends (who had no idea i was coming) and they flipped their shit. It was wonderful.
We all headed over to the Academia and it was big hugs and huge laughs. My boss instantly wanted to put me into a class to have me start teaching and old students said..TEACHER! HOW ARE YOU!? I felt instantly back at home and chatted away with the Sonia the cafeteria lady and watched new teachers wonder who in the heck is this crazy girl running around the Academia laughing and telling crazy stories with everyone!
It was a little overwhelming for both Sara and I, so after 3 hours of relaxing, a shower, and a change of clothes. We got picked up when everyone got off work and headed to Hooters (ahah) for Kareoke and hot wings and some classic Gallo in mine and sara's honor.
After plenty of dramatic latino songs, Sexual healing, like a virgin...amongst other ridiculous songs...we were all exhausted and decided to call it a night. A bunch of us crashed at one house and couldn't help chatting away with whats been going on for the past year.
We have a few more days in the city before Sara and I hop on a bus to Xela to continue the Latino Dream.
