Almost 1 More Month to Go



I have bought my plane ticket back to Guatemala. I will leave from SLC to LAX the morning after Thanksgiving. I will then Fly out 13 hours later from LAX to Guatemala City. I think when I am in LA I will rent a car and go to the beach and do something fun while I am waiting. I know that Venice Beach is pretty Close. Or may be I will go to Hollywood and pretend to be a paparazzi and get Paris Hilton's autograph.



Anyways once I get back to Guatemala it will be interesting. I need to find an apartment to rent again, I will see my son walking and with teeth, and then I will get to see my wife.

All I know is that my life is moving really slow. I can't live in the US with my family for like 6 months to a year, paper work at the National Visa Center takes for ever, and I can only take a few online classes and not go to school full time. Yet I hope that my family makes it so we can get back to the states and eventually get a place to call our own.

I am pretty confident that when I graduate with my Bachelors in Spanish and get licenced I will get a job very easily. Speaking and understanding Spanish, knowing the immigration process, living in a Spanish speaking 3rd world country, and pretty much knowing the culture will give me a head start and will differentiate me from most other interviewees. Most people in college learn their Spanish from books, which is good; however, I think being taught the majority of Spanish from living the culture will help me connect to ESL students, and other students better.

So I am saving my money, finishing all of the Visa paperwork, purchasing my text books, and bring back what ever is needed from the states.

I like this song, its main message is that everything is going to be alright.
