So, this has been a hectic week of even more decision-making. I had to register yesterday for my last Spring semester in my undergraduate career...yeah, a little scary. What's even scarier is that I'm fishing for classes to take, lol. I'm pretty much done with everything, but I don't feel like I'm ready to give my Senior Capstone for Spanish. (Basically just a huge presentation that takes the entire semester and is given completely in Spanish.) So, I'm waiting until next fall to graduate so I can study abroad again next summer.
Some exciting things happening next semester...
I've been accepted to go on a mission trip to Mexico the first week in January! We're going to be going to Reynosa, Mexico everyday and spending the night in Alamo, TX because it's too dangerous to stay in Mexico. I'm extremely excited to have been given this opportunity to help people and use my Spanish. I just know it's going to be awesome!
Over spring break, I will be traveling to Spain with one of the classes I'm taking! I am extremely excited about this also because I've never been to Europe! :-) The class is going to be difficult, to say the least, though. It's a senior seminar class in History focusing on the three major religions that had an influence on Spain: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. I will have to write a 20+ page paper over the course of the semester and read several books. I know, I know...it's ridiculous for me to take such a class when I'm only a History minor, but...all of my transportation, including airfare and trainfare, will be paid for! How can I pass up the chance to go to Spain for free! I think I can make myself write that paper...lol...
My tentative plan for next summer is to study abroad in Puebla, Mexico for 5 weeks in May and June, and then work. I may try to squeeze in the GRE somewhere in there, too...we'll just have to see. It's going to be a crazy semester, but I'm excited to do some traveling and take some fun classes.
Hope all is well for everyone out there! Happy early Thanksgiving! :-)
Paz,
Amelia
