my traineeship rocketship

My traineeship rocketship, as Sara Sadek so affectionately and correctly called them, I'm not sure if that's like an AIESEC thing, but I'm just going to go ahead and credit this one to Sara...ok so perhaps not entirely accurate, I don't think there are going to be rocketships involved anywhere (although I wish there was), but there will definitely be jet planes.

I will be departing for Medellin, Colombia (yes yes I know there is an accent on the I in Medellin, but this html freaks out at nothing, so I don't want to overload it's system) on approximately June 13th...I'm still finalizing plane tickets. The cOlOmbia that I'm going to in fact has 2 O's, and no u's. When asked about my summer plans I got lots of blank stares, and after a few seconds people would say, "The college?" -"No, kohl-ohm-be-a," I'd respond as I mustered my very best Spanish accent, which mind you is not very good, but fingers crossed will be stellar by the end of the summer!

So, I started this blog to record my adventure, and so all of my faithful fans (al pal, dad, and CB, haha) can stalk me. I hope there will be more than the current members between the parentheses by the time I'm finished...and when you see me when I get back make sure you reference my blog in our conversations often and always...it will make me feel better about my current existence which consists of a HECK of a lot of stalking of others via facebook, AIM, photo sites...I mean really anything I can get my hands on. I titled my blog, "Not lost in translation," for lots of metaphorical reasons that I will let you interpret yourself, AND because I hope I will be able to accurately convey my personality, sarcasm, humor, etc who I am, while overcoming a language barrier. Especially because I like to talk so much, as you can tell, which leads me to my next point of: (I think we're on fun fact #3:) I generally apologize a lot. But it would just be unrealistic for me to be interjecting all of these apologies into my blog where I thought necessary, so consider this a blanket apology for the entire thing: STOP READING NOW if you think this is any of the following: stupid, annoying, offensive, etc. and so on and so forth...I can't guarantee that it's going to get any better from here on out.

Cheers!
