this is the beginning of my little blog experiment. ive never been good at keeping a journal but i spend so much time on the computer that this might have more success.
so I'm leaving for peru in less than three weeks. i'm excited but it doesn't feel real. i have so much to think about (note to self: reschedule dentist appt., refill allergy spray perscription, find out if my cell phone gets service there) but I also just want to relax and have some fun for two weeks. i also have to decide which books to bring to peru. i wonder if i'll even have much time for pleasure reading- i hope so. i want to finish the collection of dostoevsky's short stories sitting on my shelf before i go.
may 21-aug 31 is a long time. shall be interesting. i think it's good practice for my study abroad next spring (at Uppsala University in Sweden). I hope I don't get too homesick.
well there really isn't much to say at this point. i'm nervous about running a classroom and being charged with other people's education. i'm excited to practice my spanish and meet lots of Christians my age. in any event, this summer will be full of new adventures- hence this blog. i don't promise it will be interesting, but it will serve to keep you informed about how I'm doing and what is going on with me. and to those who are praying for me, thank you so much. It's so comforting to know I don't travel alone.

Hey, here's a little encouragement that people actually are reading your blog. And you haven't even left yet! I always loved getting comments on my blog... when I kept one.
So, because I am reading it, I feel I should be able to request what I'm reading. (Just kidding- I enjoy pretending to be bossy.)
I'll probably just pick your brain when you get back, (ooh and look at all your photos, which you have to post on facebook) but if you have time while you're there...
I'd love to hear all about what people look like there, what they do, what the food's like, how they live, and all about their culture in general. Everything and anything you have time to tell your blogging audience here in the boring country of the U.S. of A.
I'm so excited to hear about you being a teacher! Wow.
And we'll definitely be praying for you this summer. You won't be alone, even though you'll be far far away in PERU (a.k.a. the non-boring place.)
