Almost Gone

It's May 24th, four days before our class leaves for Guatemala. I'm both nervous and excited about this journey we are going to go on. I'm looking forward to learning more about Guatemalan culture and meeting new nice people. However I am nervous about leaving my own family for three weeks. The longest I had been away from them is a week or two so i'm worried about getting home sick. I'm looking forward to improving my spanish and seeing my famil over there. Even though I won't have my family with me I am hoping that our class will grow closer together and i'm pretty sure we will.
