Hello!

Writing's fun! And sometimes I have weird ideas and questions I like to ask you all about. I figure this way, by writing them on a blog, I give myself a chance to think them out first.

I´m in Cochabamba!

It took a little while though. We got delayed in La Paz for 12 hours. Luckily, the academic directors of my program are awesome, and arranged a tour of La Paz for the day!

I was a little tired from an overnight airplane ride of little sleep (on top of Wilderness for the two previous weeks), so I slept on the bus ride around the city. But we stopped at some cool places. La Paz is an amazing city - it is extremely expansive, and is covered from end to end in rooftops. Except for a few areas, there aren´t really any open spaces within the city - just street after street, with new places to discover and things to see.

We arrived in Cochabamba, where I will be staying for the most part for the next 3.5 month, last night. I fell asleep immediately. This morning we began orientation, which definitely helped me to begin feeling more comfortable about living in a completely new city.

Due to the limited amount of time I have on this computer in this internet cafe, I think I should stop it there. I promise longer and better posts in the future, but all I can say right now is, I´m finally here, and excited to start the semester.
