Si se puede! Si se puede! :)

The title of this blog, for those of you who don´t know Spanish, means ¨yes you can, yes you can!¨. We just finished our first midterm exam for our Spanish classes. That included a written test and an oral portion, where we were asked questions by 2 teachers and had to respond with long answers. I think my test went ok, but I talked to Alex, my classmate, about one of the questions on the oral part later and I was totally lost and rambling about something! Oops! Oh well, I think overall it went ok, though. :) Tomorrow morning, we leave at 4:45am for the airport for our trip to Tikal. Do I need to repeat that for all of you morning people?? Yes, I do mean 4:45am in the morning! Ugh! On the bright side, we are going to Tikal and we get to relax the whole weekend! Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. Tikal was home to one of the most powerful kingdoms of the Mayan civilizations. As well as enjoying the natural beauty there, we are staying at a hotel with a lake right across from it. There have been rumors that it will be warm enough to swim and I hope it is! Yesterday, during worship, our group talked about how we were all feeling tired and a few people have colds. I think we are all ready for a break, so bring on the sunshine in Tikal!! :)
