I am amazed at how fast this semester has gone by as I prepare to finally take off for Chile! I feel very lucky to have this opportunity to travel to South America for the first time and in particular to a country I never would have thought I would get to see if you had asked me even just a year ago. I am definitely ready for warm weather too. This education abroad trip will certainly be a once in a lifetime experience for me.
Chilean food, culture, architecture, landscapes, history and much more await our eager and curious minds. I am excited to document all of these new experiences in my sketchbook, which is something I have never brought along with my on any of my trips before. This sketchbook will hold so much importance to me after this journey as I use it to recall our daily activities and sightseeing, show others such as family and friends what I learned, and to inspire myself to keep working on my sketching abilities after this trip and class are over. I look forward to my first of hopefully many study abroad experiences, the chance to use my rusty Spanish skills, the invaluable architectural exposure, and the many memories to come!
I look forward to working with you and developing your sketching, please let me know whenever you want to talk about drawing-Aimee
