Hello and welcome to Brit Speaking Spanish. My name is Brit, and I will be speaking Spanish...once I arrive in La Antigua, Guatemala on Monday night, that is.
So the last few weeks I've been "preparing," which has mostly consisted of eating Chinese food, getting vaccinations, and staying in bed till 11am every morning listening to NPR. Although not needed, this has been a perfect break for me, a chance to reflect on my college years and get mentally ready for the adventures to come. My trend has been to be busy all the time, and my non-busyness this past month has taught me to love the in-between periods in life.
This Saturday is BORP's Opening Day Celebration, and a celebration it will be! Exactly 4 years ago, on this Saturday, I started volunteering at BORP. I hope to see a lot of friends during the day on Saturday, but if you can't make it, virtual hugs are a perfect substitute!
Lastly, if you've been thinking you should maybe get me a going-away gift...don't! Instead, bring me a book from your bookshelf you'll think I'll enjoy during my travels.
Hasta poco, Brit
