We took the scenic route into Taos today to get a look at where I’ll be staying for the next 4 1/2 weeks. I was amazed at how different it all is from Santa Fe. The brush and sand that cover the hills near Santa Fe turn into aspen and pine that grow on the mountains near Taos. It was another first for me–I have never seen anything quite like it, and as we drove up to the ski valley, I was in awe. The condos where I’ll be staying are at the foot of the mountains; just imagine waking up in the morning and seeing all that!
Tomorrow will be the first day of summer school. Honestly, I’m just a little scared. I won’t know anyone (roommates included), I don’t know the environment well, and I won’t be able to communicate very well at first. I think, though, that this is a good kind of scared–anticipation and excitement are a big part of it. I know in the end I’m going to love it! Might be a rough first few days getting used to it, but after that, I’ll have the time of my life.
