I have to say, I haven't been the biggest fan of blogging in the past. I guess I didn't really see the point, I mean why? Why on earth would anyone take what is essentially an electronic journal and broadcast it across the entire world wide web? That's insanity. Journals are supposed to have little locks on them and be hid under secret floorboards. Not like they actually held anything all that incriminating. I'm pretty sure nobody would gasp at entries that referred to a secret crush or the devastation of having a bad hair day, but it's the principle of the thing. And really, what makes my life so interesting that people would want to hear about it? Booooring.
But, I am glad to say that I have seen the light. Because I have this great opportunity to spend the next four months in Puebla, Mexico and I think that blogging is a good way to take all of the people I care about on this little adventure with me. Which will consist of two 19-year-old girls (the lovely Brittany Romanello is also going with me... the spunky and gorgeous Turkish-born Utahn who I met in Las Vegas and has spent the last month or so in Argentina...), a lot of blonde, or I guess brunette, moments, and hopefully some divine intervention.... a lot of divine intervention.
There was a little panic and frustration today because I'm packing (ew) and then I found out that there are some text books that I can't buy in Mexico so now Amazon is having them overnighted to my house so that I can somehow shove them into the 50 pounds of stuff that I am allowed to carry with me for my four-month adventure to Puebla. Yeah, not so fun. But then I went over the list of classes that I'm taking and my course descriptions and my host family and I started to get the pre-travel butterflies and now I want to dance around the house. I'M GOING TO MEXICO!!!!
