Week two, here I come!

Well folks, ya empezó la segunda semana de mi tiempo en Puerto Rico.

The second week of my time here in Puerto Rico has started.

Yesterday was the first day of my internship here in Puerto Rico. I got to accompany a trilingual interpreter, my mentor while I am here, to an interpreting job. It was awesome! I enjoyed the day and the new experiences. Today I continued my internship with orientation with the agency in Florida (who is managing my internship here in PR).  Tomorrow, I again get to go out on assignment with my mentor, which I am excited about.

I am slowly, slowly learning my way around down here. I prefer to take the city train whenever possible, because honestly, it is a whole lot more simple than trying to figure out the bus system. Plus, the train tells me the name of the stops, which helps when I have limited knowledge as to where I am and where I want to be! Tomorrow will bring a real test when I have to take the buses to get to my assignment...Here's to trusting God that He will work everything out just as He has so far throughout the entire internship experience thus far.

The weather, for those of you who are stuck in snow, is beautiful here! I am enjoying the fact that I can again wear sandals, flip flops, shorts and tank tops! It is sunny almost everyday, and I love it!

Today I also attended the second class of my semester at la Universidad del Sagrado Corazón. I am  currently enrolled in one class--a literary genres class in which we will discuss essays, poems, and theatre. I am easily able to understand the professor (Hallelujah), but do sometimes have trouble understanding exactly what the students are saying. Puerto Rican Spanish, is indeed different, but I am confident that, as I gain more exposure to it, I will be able to grasp it more firmly. The classes at the university will definitely help with that.

Puerto Rico is certainly unique, and I am excited to continue learning about the island and all that it has to offer!

That's all I have right now....

Entonces, que Dios les bendiga  y que les vaya bien!
