<\/p>\nIt still has not hit me that we are going to Argentina on Saturday. I am sure it will not hit me until I am standing in the airport in Buenos Aires staring out the window into a new country. \u00a0I am very excited but still a little nervous. The only thing I am nervous about is teaching for three days in all Spanish. Yes, Spanish is my minor and I have been taught very well here at WSU, I just have not had a lot of experience with getting in front of an entire class and teaching a whole lesson for three days in a row. And especially to young children who do not know the English language very well or at all and have all eyes on you waiting to be taught. I am afraid I am going to forget one simple word and not know what to say. \u00a0But I plan to go through my lesson and practice what I am going to say to the students in each section. I want the students to enjoy my lesson and learn as much as they can.<\/p>\n
Other than teaching in Spanish for three days, estoy muy emocionado for the experiences we will have. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures. I like comparing things to what we have in the United States, especially the day to day life. Because of this I am most excited to be spending time with a host family. Again, the courage with the language will be a little intimidating, but I am sure everything will be fantastic. I am also a lover of fun foods and I will always try something at least once so I am excited to experience their cultural meals, although we will have to get used to eating dinner at 9pm!! \u00a0I look forward to going to a futbol game because I love sports and being around people. I have heard the fans at the futbol games are crazy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We have a great group of students and faculty attending this trip to Argentina and I look forward to getting to know them all! I am sure we will have time on our 10 hour flight and 13 hour bus ride!<\/p>\n
I cannot wait to leave soon! \u00a0I will keep you all updated throughout the trip! \u00a0Hasta Luego!<\/p>\n
