Busiest I've Ever Been!!

So...I know it's been a while since my last post, but as the title "suggests," I've never been this busy before in my life! Here's a brief recap of the past month or so:

I went to Mexico for a week for a mission trip, and it was incredible! I've applied for an internship there this summer, and I'm really praying that I'll get it. I love being able to use my Spanish in those types of situations. Most of the time I feel really inadequate when I speak Spanish, but when people can't understand each other without me, it makes me feel like maybe I can speak Spanish better than I thought.

I turned 22...yeah, I'm getting old. I know in the grand scheme of life I'm pretty young, but I just can't believe that I'm 22. The decisions I have to make in the next year are pretty big ones and pretty scary ones. I just hope I have the discernment to make the right decisions. Hopefully everything works out alright.

I'll be leaving for Spain in less than a month! I'm really excited about this because I've never been to Europe. It's going to be a very busy 9 days there, but I can't wait for the break from school!

Speaking of school...I pretty much hate it right now. I'm only taking 13 hours, so I thought it wouldn't be that bad. Boy, was I wrong. German is killing me because I can't remember any of the German I took over a year ago, and the history class I have, in which I have to write a 20-page paper, requires me to read several books. The one I'm currently reading deals with the views of ancient Jews in relation to Black people. ???? Is that seriously going to have anything to do with my life in the future? I seriously doubt it. So...I'm just trying to make it through this semester. Hopefully I'll be somewhat sane at the end of it.

School, studying, and work are basically my life. I have taken up yoga two times a week in an effort to destress, but thus far, I've just been really sore.

Hope all is well for everyone else out there! I'll try to blog again after I get back from Spain.

Besos y abrazos,
Amelia
