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!
