If you are reading this, you most likely already know that I am studying abroad for the semester in the Dominican Republic. Right now I am gearing up for my trip, i.e. packing and shopping, and packing... and packing! There seems to be a never ending list of things to do and people to see before I depart. I am leaving from MSP on January 2nd (which is in 5 days... yikes!) and then will have about a 5 hour layover in Miami. From Miami, I will fly straight into my host city, Santiago, DR. In Santiago, I will be living with a family and attending school at Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM).
During my time in the Dominican, I am most looking forward to living and learning in a very different culture than my own. I am excited to see all that the Dominican has to offer, and hope to have the experience of a lifetime!
I will try to post regularly on here, to keep everyone at home (primarily my mom and dad) updated on my current happenings. Still, it's a different life... no internet in my house, no more cell phones, and ALL SPANISH! That's what I'm most nervous for right now... speaking Spanish. However, it's something that I am also very excited to be doing! I am looking forward to being fluent (hopefully!) after my stay in the Dominican.
