I'm leaving on a jet plane.....

...on august 12th at 7:20 am! not so excited about the whole "7:20 am" part, but i'm excited for everything else. also, i will be returning on a jet plane on december 20th at 10:51 pm. my mom is not so excited about getting home three days later than planned, but what can you do?

in a few days i will go to provo for my training, and i will finally get some sort of idea of how i will be teaching these kids. i am so excited to learn the method, and to also meet some of the people that i will be going down with! i have no idea what it will be like, but i'm hoping it will be fun, because it is a nine-hour workshop for two days. hopefully it keeps me entertained! oh, and thanks grandma and grandpa harris for letting me sleep at your house! they are the best.

hola!

i think for the first post of this blog, something deep and insightful ought to be said. but unfortunately nothing is coming to mind. darn.

for anyone who will be reading this blog, it is mainly here to keep friends and family in touch with me while i am teaching english in mexico. tehuacan,puebla,mexico actually. some of you might be thinking, "gee, I didn't know suzanne knew spanish." well friends, i definitely do not know spanish. hence, the need for this blog to write about all of my blunders and mishaps while in the great mexican country of mexico. it is bound to be a doozy of an adventure.

i leave on august 11th, and get home on december 17th. yup! i'll be home for christmas. and i would be lying if i said that i did not cry while listening to that song recently...i'm just a little sad that i won't be around family and snow during the holiday season, but that's ok! i will be surrounded by mariachi bands and pinatas, and really, who could ask for anything more? and yes, i am making my family have thanksgiving with me before i leave. and i am rather excited about thanksgiving in august! who needs christmas in july?


that's right. be jealous.

well, i have rambled on long enough. the moral to the story is this: i won't really be able to communicate home that much while in mexico, so this is where i will get the news out! leave a comment. be it nasty, funny, rude, or sweet - chances are that i will probably just be happy to hear from people! Adios!
