hola :)
at midnight tonight, I am officially not speaking ANY English for two weeks.
I will not be using my facebook, email, telephone, watching English TV, and unfortunately, not even using my blog :(
I just recently got really fed up with my lack of Spanish, and decided that I wanted to take a 2 week break from everything in little USA, and completely, COMPLETELY, immerse myself in the argentine culture. I'm sure in the next 2 weeks I'm going to get REALLY frustrated sometimes, but now that I am in a safe environment, I have people around me that I love, I feel it is time to buckle down, and complete a mission :)
tomorrow, October 19th is two months since I have left USA, and that I have been in Argentina. WOW! So cool.
I have struggled so many times in the past 2 months, and so much of my accomplishments here, have come from the letters, notes, and vibes you all have sent me. I'm trucking along, and having a really great time in Argentina, I just cannot believe it has already been 2 months...
My family situation is still great, and everything is good down here in little, baby Santo Tomé, Argentina, and now it is time for a really big challenge. My whole class, friends, and family (both in USA and Argentina) know about this, and are completely supporting me!
Anyway, talk to you guys in 2 weeks! And hopefully, if all goes according to plan, I will be THAT much more Argentine, and speaking much better :)
LOVE!
Abigail.
