Hey there! Hope you're all doing awesome! I love you all and think about you every day. :) Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'll try to blog more frequently. So anyway, last week was long, but it had its highlights, namely the ACA Orientation. Two hours of excitedly daydreaming of Spain. Profe gave us tips on living abroad, things like emphasizing humility as an American and not being afraid to make a fool of ourselves when it comes to trying our tongue at the language. I'm pretty good at making a fool of myself, so I'm not too worried about that part. Then some of last year's ACA kids had a Q&A session for us. They're all really cool, especially a couple of people who went to Argentina and have basically been my Spanish mentors all this year. I hope to do 'em proud in España. The other highlight of the week was Kidzreach, a campus ministry in which we hang out with underprivileged kids for a whole Sabbath. It was my last one of the quarter, sadly, but maybe the most fun one this year. We went to Ocean Beach in San Fran. It was freezing!! My friend Kaileen and some of the kids dragged me into the ice cold water, just to prove so I could say that the beaches are better in Hawaii. Too bad I knew that already. We cruised there all day: fed the kids three square meals, played football, got buried in the sand, and looked for little lost shoes. I'm gonna miss Kidzreach next year when I'm in Spain. It's so rewarding to befriend and care for those sweet kids. Most of the PUC students who help out are juniors and seniors, funny friends and great influences. That's what I've missed about being a freshman: having all these surrogate big brothers and sisters to hang out with and learn from. I've met bunches of people like that who are helping me find myself. You sent me to the right place, mom and dad. :) PUC is great, God is awesome, and I'm falling asleep. Time to go. Keeping you in my prayers. Till next time!
Love,
Colleen
