Greetings from Wisconsin (haha)! I haven't left quite yet so I thought I'd try out this blog thing to keep you guys updated on my travels. =D
For those who are confused at my decision to flee the country for about 3 months here's the deal: I'm interning/volunteering in a clinic in Cusco, Peru and NOT taking any classes (except the Spanish language classes included with the program) and I'll be staying in a bed and breakfast type house run by the program where I may or may not share a room and bathroom. Even my meals are included. Everything is organized through this pretty cool organization called Maximo Nivel. Basically this is my time to take a breather from school yet do something productive with my time. I also have to study for the MCAT - medical college admissions test - while in Peru.
Now for some FAQ's:
Yes I will graduate on time.
No, this isn't through my school.
No, I'm not getting credit.
No, I don't know anyone there except Ashley who's in Lima.
No, I don't speak Spanish that well but I know some basics.
Yes, I might be slightly crazy, but it's fun.
So with less than a week til take off all I have yet to do is pack for the adventure (and mentally prep myself to try guinea pig and alpaca meat... yum?)
