Summer plans...

It is late at night and the apartment is quiet. My heart is pounding in my chest.

Name? Holly Larson. Dates requested? Credit card number....

Submit? Can I do it? Eeeek! It is official, I am going to Mexico and Argentina! I just made the deposit!

At the end of August, I am leaving for Mexico City where I'll do 5 weeks of immersion Spanish; 4 hours per day, five days per week. I get lost easily, so I'm sure I'll do plenty of that too. I also hope to check out some fun dance clubs, eat lots of food and not get too sick. I have three weeks off, and then I am off to Buenos Aires to get my TEFL certificate. This is the certificate that I need to get a job teaching English and I'll spend 4 weeks getting it. My goal is to end up teaching in Costa Rica, but I am still working on that.


So, I am officially done with school for a while. How strange is that? I am currently working hard at several Starbucks locations around Columbus and Oxford and am saving my pennies. I am also studying for the ADA license exam I'll be taking at the end of the summer (I'll finally get to put RD after my name!). Until then, I'll continue ballroom and salsa dancing, laying by the pool and making a latta lattes!
