12 Days and counting..

Hey everyone!!

I have been very lacking with the updates here, I'm sorry... Currently I am spending two nights with a friend and will move to an AIESEC family's house on Sunday because we had to vacate the apartment yesterday. I also tried cow udder yesterday... didn't taste too bad. But I couldn't get myself to try cow tongue.

An internship update: My time with the school is over, but I am now coordinating a summer camp for public school children at the Centro Colombo. I have one week left, and so far it has been a lot of fun. It is a summer camp that includes both English and Spanish - so I get to practice Spanish, and the kids get to learn English in a much more fun way than in the classroom :) And, by the by, I practiced my origami skills.. and expanded on them.

NatCo Colombia: I am going to the AIESEC Colombia National Conference next week!! It is from July 8. - 13. I am very excited about seeing how NatCo works in another country. This will also help improve my Spanish more. So if anyone has any questions, things I should bring up while I'm there, or just wants to know more about it - email me and I will do my best to satisfy your curiosity :)

Only 12 more days until I leave, and I am already starting to realize what I will miss.. This experience has definitely taught me a lot, and has prepared me for a new trip! Maybe South America again? Maybe somewhere else.. but I definitely want to go :)

Un abrazo desde Colombia,
Vanessa

P.S.:
Do you love juice? Here, you get a fresh glass of juice with every meal!
Do you like crazy drivers? Better run across the street and make sure you are very visible, because drivers here are insane. On the bright side, buses stop anywhere on the street to pick you up and drop you off. And, taxis are very cheap!
And, now that I finished this blog entry, I wonder what kept me from doing it before... this last week I'll keep a better update and catch up on some storytelling! Oh, but no pics... unless I can connect with my laptop at my new destination :)
