We leave in less than 48 hours. I never thought the day would come, it felt so far away when we returned for Spring Semester. The warmth and the sun are almost calling my name as we continue through yet another grey Ohio winter.
I am looking forward to not only seeing beautiful and creative works such as the Costanera Tower, Mestizo and the slide park but also to be immersed into a totally new culture. I am not only excited about the architecture, I am also very excited to eat new food and (attempt to) put my 4 years of high school Spanish class to use.
I am nervous about my sketching, as it’s not totally where I was hoping it would be at this point. Hopefully I can figure it out on the fly, and I am looking forward to the constant practice and hopefully some improvement. What I can’t capture with my sketching I will definitely try my best to capture with a picture at least.
I am going to be the first person in my family to travel to South America, and I can’t wait to have stories and new experiences to tell them when I get back home.
Glad you will be practicing your Spanish and look forward to visiting Mestizo, Costanera and Slide park with you. I look forward to working with you and developing your sketching, please let me know whenever you want to talk about drawing-Aimee
