update!

Hola,

Today was sort of an interesting day.. It was my first day of morning classes.  I am getting over a little sickness so I was nervous to take the metro but I prevailed.  I met Sarah and Elise for coffee before class and while I was walking to the Subway I felt a tug on my backpack.. I turned around and saw a gypsy man pulling on my zipper I was like "what the heck dude?" and he quickly scurried off.. That was my first experience with someone trying to hijack my belongings... little did the guy know that all of my things of value were in a pocket with a master lock on them.  Good luck getting that!
Morning classes went pretty well.  It will take some adjusting to new professors but I only have 9 school days left so it should not be too bad.  Afterwards I spent some time with friends exploring the city and we grabbed lunch.  I came back home early tonight so I can watch a live broadcast of Michael's graduation from his school in Washington State.  I have been able to email back and fourth with him the past few days.  I cannot explain how happy that makes me! He will then be going to another school in South Carolina until August 2nd.  This summer has been both fun and challenging for both of us.
For the first time I feel ready to come home.  I will still enjoy my last two weeks here and try to pick up as much of the language as I can but when it is over I will be SO excited to return to the States to see my family, friends, church family, and especially Michael.
This week I will be doing a lot of sight seeing and taking pictures of this beautiful city I live in!
I hope everyone is having a great Monday! I will update again soon!
Love,
Jess
