Tomé muchos photos cuando caminamos en las montañas el martes pasado. Este lugar se llama "La Garganta de Cares." El agua del río es muy limpio, como el agua en las montañas de Canada, y me gustan las cascadas mucho. Es muy guapo, ¿no?

Semana 1: Una experiencia...
Wednesday, May 19, 2010
¡Tres días!
When I first began classes at the University of Utah, I was planning on minoring in Spanish. However, I discovered that trying to get a Spanish minor while pursuing a Biomedical Engineering major and a minor in music just wasn’t going to happen in four years. I’m hoping that studying abroad this summer will kind of serve as a crash course in the language, and that I’ll be able to partially make up for my lack of Spanish minor-ness.
I've never taken a Spanish class at the University; I took four years of the language in high school, and that is it. Needless to say, I am most worried about the language, but with help and patience from others, I'm sure I'll learn quickly. I'm not super nervous about the culture shock. I've spent a bit of time in many other countries throughout the years, in England and around Europe, Peru, South Korea... oh, and Canada. I absolutely love learning about other cultures, and I'm more excited than anything to learn the Spanish way of life. Here's to not being a tourist!
