Reflection 1

I think it´s time to take a break from my creative writing pursuits and let everyone know what I´ve been doing the last 8 days. My first 1.5 days were spent in Antigua getting familiar with the city and with my classmates. The next day, last Wednesday, we trekked to Semuc Champey, a rough 7 hour drive to north-central Guatemala. We stayed at a rugged outpost called Las Marias and did some hiking, swimming, jumping off stuff, swimming, and spelunking. I appreciated the opportunity to simply relax and get to know people. We made the return odyssey to Antigua on Saturday.
Saturday night was an odyssey of a different sort. Since there are only 8 guys on the trip and 25 ladies, we men had a lot of females to take home at 1 AM, which wouldn´t have been so bad if they had known where they lived. It was also raining. So we basically wandered around Antigua for a while until the guys (like me) figured out where some of the girls lived. To be fair, some of the girls knew where their house was...
Anyways, the last two days, I´ve been volunteering in the AM and learning Spanish in the PM. Volunteering has been a huge struggle because I´m super bored while other people got much better assignments. I´m hoping I can change but I´m not sure if the leader will let me.
Tonight, I´m watching Kite Runner. More later.
