I am really churning out the updates here. I hope to finish some of this travelogue stuff, because I intended to write some thoughts about my life so far and upcoming, but I feel like these stories of recent events have to get written before I forget about them. Keep in mind that if I am writing about an event, I will post it under the day when it happened, not the day I write it up. So for example, First Day in the Lakes District is posted under August 6, even though I wrote it yesterday. Years later, I’ll be able to reconstruct the chronology of what happens. If this gets too out of hand, I’ll make a page with recently added posts so you don’t have to scroll all the way through looking for changes.
As an update on what is happening right now, it was a very pleasant warm day, so warm that it made me drowsy. And I have two pieces of very good news. The first is that Felipe told me he would be happy to have me stay past the duration of the exchange. This is good because like it, here so staying a little longer is always good. It also means that he is happy with the work I am doing. Learning to program can be frustrating, since you don’t always have much to show for all the effort you put in to learning how to do something. The second piece of good news is that Tom Witten, the Chicago contact for the exchange, told me I will be reimbursed for whatever mode of transportation I decide to take back to States. This means I can take the bus back! Imagine ~$500 of free bus travel through South and Central America. My loans will be do about 3 months after my job ends, so I have about that much time to laze around and enjoy my youth. If you have any friends who live down here or tips about what to do south of the border, let me know about them so I can start planning them in. Wagons North!
Update: I finished writing a long entry about a Wedding Party I went to about two weeks ago.
