Successful day!!

I just finished teaching my yoga class, it was a resounding success! I was nervous that either I would have no students or I would have too many students, but I had 6 and that was the perfect number. I know I messed up a lot of my verb conjugations, because I wanted to try to use the ustedes (3rd person plural) and the nosotros (first person plural) of the subjunctive and I definitely got confused. But I did a good job of remembering all the new verbs and the different parts of the body, and best of all I didnt forget the sequence of postures or the commands for the sun salutation!

I have been having a great time in Antigua over the past 2 weeks, I can't believe I have only one more day! I am really happy with my improvements in Spanish and generally I feel more confident and prepared for the rest of my travels! I have the next month pretty well planned. I am leaving Saturday to go back to Lago de Atitlan for a week-long yoga retreat. Then from there I am going to Semuc Champey, an area in the jungle with caves and rivers to go tubing on, and just to connect more with nature because I have to say Antigua is really dirty and smelly, even though its not that big. Also there is a drought going on so its not very green. Looking forward to some nature at the lake and then at Semuc Champey. From there I will make my way up the Rio Dulce to the Caribbean coast of Guatemala and from there out to Utila, one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. I am going to take a scuba diving course, and then after that I have arranged a helpX placement at a permaculture site on the island! I am very excited!

I am also feeling really good today because I found out I was accepted to the University of Toronto! I have also been accepted by NYU, Guelph, and York, and I am still waiting on Mcgill and Ryerson. So funny, last year I only applied to U of T and was rejected, this year I get to do the rejecting!
