Krysten is always lost This winter I'm spending a semester in Antigua, Guatemala: learning spanish and other things, hopefully some volunteering and some killer picture taking as well. It's my third trip to Guatemala, it's the kind of place that sucks you in and never lets you leave completely, which is why I'll probably keep going back. This time I get to go with 19 of my classmates from Guelph, and another 18 or 19 from the University of Saskatchewan who I have yet to meet. So I definetly wont be alone.

I have nothing creative to call this entry

Sooooooo…. Stuff is going pretty good here I suppose. I started Spanish lessons yesterday, which was crazy, they’re going to wear me right out. 4 hours is way too long to be doing anything. I did learn quite a bit tho, and I know I really need the practice, so in the end I’ll be thankful that I did it, but right now I’m just hoping that my brain doesn’t explode.

 

Still haven’t really done anything too exciting or taken too many pictures. I think I might climb a volcano on Sunday tho. Apparently one of them erupted the other day, but I didn’t actually see it so I don’t know for sure. Pacaya has been erupting pretty much non stop for years now tho. That’s the one we’re hoping to climb.

 

There’s a ton of stuff I want to do here, I have to try really hard to pace myself, and not do everything in the first month. We’ve been gong out every night so far which is kinda nice cuz it keeps me busy, but I really don’t want to be doing it all the time.

 

In other news, much to my relief, the food here is pretty good. We have beans for dinner every night, but I’ve found that if I put them on bread they’re not too offensive. I have unfortunately started eating meat again. I’m still gonna avoid it when I can, but I’m trying to eat whatever food they serve me. I’m definitely eating way healthier than I do at home. We have fruit for breakfast every morning, and I’ve been eating beans and stuff. Plus I’m not pigging out on junk food in between meals, so that’s pretty good I guess.

 

Anyways, that’s all for now.

 

Safe journies.
