The first few days!

Hola a todos!!

Hello to everyone! I am here in Puerto Rico, for those of you who are wondering. I arrived safely on Sunday evening and have been getting into the groove of Puerto Rican for the past few days!


For those of you who are unaware, I am spending my semester in Puerto Rico. I am here to complete my American Sign Language Internship (No, ASL is not universal, but it is used in Puerto Rico), and I am also taking a class at a university!


My adventure started with me getting on a plane in Indianapolis--it was the first time I had flown alone! But I made it just fine. Those of you who know that I was looking for a place to live up until I left, will be happy to know that someone was there to pick me up at the airport, and I have a very nice host family. It is the perfect host family for me as I get to use my ASL, a little bit of Spanish, and some English as well!


On Tuesday I went to sign up for a class at the university. It was an interesting day, that's for sure!! I did a lot of waiting. The waiting started when I got on a bus, missed the university, and had to wait for the bus to finish its route and go back the way we came. (I was told to get on bus #1, but it was confusing for me!) After I arrived at the university, I had to wait for about an hour in each of three different offices! But I am finally enrolled in a class that meets on Wednesdays. I had my first class today, and despite being nervous, it went fairly well! Still working out a few details with the university, but I am pretty much set to go!


I will try to update this blog as much as possible...no promises since I start working at my internship next week. But I promise I will try to keep you all in the loop! :) 


I am excited to see you all again even though I haven't been gone long! If you are ever bored, my phone works down here, so feel free to give me a call or a text!


Love  from Puerto Rico,


Steph
