Day 1 blog - o - rama

This is for you all who are wondering why (or wtf) am I in a foreign 3rd world country in Central America...

I am currently in Guatemala in Central America. It is a country bordered by Mexico, El Salvador, Belize and Honduras.
I live in Quetzaltenango (or shortened to Xela) on the Eastern part of the country. I arrived by avion (airplane) in Guatemala city, stayed the night at a bed and breakfast known as Patricia's and then I rode on the first class bus for 4 hours to Xela. More info on this arrival and trip to come soon. 
I am learning Spanish and I hope to be able to work in a clinic or hospital in Xela or its surrounding in  3 weeks and speak reasonable Spanish. Although this is turning out to be much harder than I thought.
Life is cheaper here, so while I am homeless in the United States, I get to stay with a host family who feeds me three times a day except on Sundays, when I only get dinner (cenar).
 I currently go to school 5 times a week for 5 hours a day writing, speaking and learning Spanish. This is usually exhausting because I am learning a lot of informacion. After that depending on what day it is, I may have to meet with other members of my class and the director of the program that I am in in Guatemala on some afternoons for 2-3 hours. Other afternoons, I just sleep because la clima, el altitude hace mi cansado(makes me tired)

My attempt at trying to get a picture of the mountainous glory that is called Guatemala failed as the window of the airplane was too thick and too blurry for my camera.

A quick peak at Guatemala city, the capital of Guatemala. 

I will try to update this blog as much as I can
