| Well... I just happened to remember that Ihad not written on my Xanga in a VERY long time! I am back at home and I am taking a 3 week art appreciation course. Class is from 8-12. It is brutal. Soo boring. I am taking the MCAT in August so I am going to be studying for that this summer and working as well.

| Hey. I just wanted to see if anybody still reads this. This year at Wheaton is all right so far, and I'm looking forward to having a GREAT second semester! If you still subscribe, or even remember my name, drop me a comment so I know if anyone even bothers to check this xanga after I stopped updating it for 6 months! | | |
| Well... I am now once again back in the United States. I got back in at 9:15 yesterday morning. | | |
| Well... Hey again. I am now in Chaco (A province in Argentina). I am in a pretty rural area with indeginous people called the Wichis. They are one of the last indigenous groups left in Argentina and the world for that matter. They have there own language and all that as well. I am here with 6 other students in our group and a group of like 8 people from a Church in Buenos Aires. We are just kind of joining the Church´s mission trip. I was kind of sad to leave Salta. I LOVED it there. The people were awesome and the landscape could not be beat, but of well, one adventure to the next. Kind of like life. Here in Chaco it is pretty deserty. There are some HUGE a cacti. We are all living in the same house. There are five guys in the same room. It is pretty sweet. They also need to conserve water here, so I will probably not shower for my week here as well. Shaving is a definitely not happening, so by the end of the week I will have the beginnings of a beard that will be instantly destroyed as soon as I canshave it. The group is hoping that the pre-med students will be able to work with a ´hospital´ here. That will be awesome! It als stinks that I still have homework to do for my classes! We will see if I can find time to get that done in the middle of my time here. It is unlikely to happen, but we will see. It is now starting to set in that I will be leaving Argentina in a week. It is pretty sad because, to be honest, I do not really want to leave. I have LOVED my time here and want to stay longer, but oh well. So, yah, I get back to the States in the afternoon on Monday (the 18th). Well Kyle, we are going to have to go to Alvarez or Der Ratskellar when I return. Thanks for your comments, I have laughed a lot when I have read them. Well... I should get going. This may be my last entry as I am in a rural area and I do not know if I will have to come to the ciber again and I leave for the States on Sunday night. So my next entry may be from the United States. Talk to you guys later. Bye. | | |
| Hey again,
I am finally back. I have not had
time to sit down and write on my Xanga lately. Well... my time in
Salta has been awesome. The people in the Church are
Amazing! There are four young people ages like 20-24 that work
with the Church that are absolutely incredible inspirations for
me. They dedicate their time to help with the ministries of the
Church to touch the lives of the children in the various barrios.
My buddy David Heskett and I have had a great time hanging out with the
guys. They love to just joke around and have fun (Kind of like
me) so we get along well. The leader of the group is also awesome
and we spend basically the whole day with him. He has taken us to
some pretty sweet places. We went on a hike in the Jungle along a
creek up this mountain. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! So,
yah, I will be pretty sad when I have to leave. I have learned
sooo much from these people. These four new buddies will be
greatly missed. We head to Chaco tommorrow. We will then be
beginning our trek back to the good ole' US on the 17th. And yah,
yesterday I received the first love note of my life. This
Argentinian girl likes me for some odd reason and says I am extremely
good looking (yah, don't ask). Her exact words were that I was
muy, muy, muy, muy, muy, etc. lindo (good looking). So yah,
I got a note from her yesterday. She burnt the edges of the
letter and it was perfumed!! I GOT A PERFUMED LETTER!! I am
not going to lie, I did feel quite proud of myself. She gave me
20,000 besos (kisses) and 30,000 brazos (hugs) in the letter.
That is alot of kisses! And now to answer the question you are
all asking, is she good looking? I have to admit that yes, she is
good looking. I know quite amazing. But yah, so needless to
say, I am having a pretty good time. I still have TONS of
homework to do though. Yah, that part stinks. Well... I
should get going. Talk later. Bye.
