Vivir Mi Vida

I promised myself I'd allow a little time to write a blog post after I'd finished my chemistry homework (it's good incentive considering I only remembered yesterday (while procrastinating) that I had a blogspot. So here I am, my dear dear readers. Can't promise regular maintenance of this but other bloggers give me motivation so we will see. Anyway, enough banter, I want to write about an awesome trip I took over the summer.

I'm only 3 months late but before my spring semester ended, I spontaneously decided to go on a volunteering trip (with IVHQ) to Colombia literally a month before my flight was scheduled to take off. I mean, the decision wasn't so spontaneous, quite frankly, because I'd been wanting to go for a while. But the couple seconds of courage I had to muster in order to process my ticket purchase was faster than the speed of light (which is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s ladies and gents (I just had my second chem exam sorry)). I was extremely scared to endeavor on this trip because it was my very first flight alone. I'm not even ashamed to admit I shed a couple of tears too at the JFK airport terminal.
