Blog Squad Prompt #2

Well this post is about a week late! Whoops!

I my defense I have had homework,diaries, and an essay to do. Oh, and there's no internet at my house :)

And all of this is A-O-KAY!

Here's the next prompt:

You’re abroad, settled in, and attending classes. So… how’s it going?


Choose a picture to post on your blog and describe in some detail why it best describes your experience in-country to date. Think about how it portrays the emotions, feelings and thoughts that you are having as you settle into your overseas experience.

Just one picture??? Emm.... this'll be hard, if not impossible.

I'm posting more than one, but this first one is the one.

Let me tell you why. I sort of climbed a mountain. Just a weeny one, but it still took quite the will, brain, and butt power!

Plus, if we want to get all "metaphorical" here, then I accomplished another thing I thought I could not. When my hiking buddy for the day (Grady) kept going, I had to keep going to! It was fun, tiring, and awesome. This pic is about as high as we hiked that day, so represents the experience the best I think.

Here are some other fun pics:

Ta-ta for now!
