Anyway, I'm very excited. I was getting a little nervous about everything the past couple days, but today I had to go to the eye doctor to get some new glasses (my family's lovely puppy decided to eat mine the day I left home haha) and it made me feel all better! I picked out some lovely frames and I can't wait to get them.
No! What really happened was I overheard two of the receptionist ladies at the eye doctor speaking Spanish while I was waiting, so when I was going to pay I asked one of them about it! This is me: "Do you speak Spanish?" And both of us know I heard her speaking Spanish like five minutes ago. But how else was I supposed to start the conversation? Hahaha. Anyway, she got all cheery and said yes (obviously) and we got to talking! Turns out she was from Mexico City, which is about three hours away from where I'm going. I told her all about my trip and she was so excited for me! She even gave me the office's business card and told me to call anytime if I needed anything :) So cute! It reminded me how much I love Latin people. They are so friendly and truly caring. It took away (almost) all of my fears! I know it'll be hard down there with trying to understand/speak Spanish, learning to teach, meeting a new family, adjusting to new food, and everything else, but the people are what's truly important. And I know they're going to be great.
So I guess I owe my family's crazy annoying puppy for making me have to go to the eye doctor and meet an awesome new friend :)
Anyway, I'm incredibly excited and not so sure I'm going to be able to fall asleep tonight. This time tomorrow I will be in Mexico! It honestly feels like a dream, I kind of can't believe it's really going to happen...
I love you all! Can't wait to share my adventures with you.
Adios!
I'm kind of envious and excited for you too. Will miss seeing you every week :) ¡Diviértete!
