Two weeks of class!

I can't believe I have already been in school for two weeks! I started school in the Pre-summer session and have one week left. It has been pretty intense because it is a three week class, that is normally in a semester. So far I am really enjoying being back in school, although I do sort of have to get back into the rhythm of studying every night. Another girl in the program and I have bonded, because we are both from out of state, most of the people are from AZ or have been living here for awhile.

We have been so lucky in terms of housing. With a distant family connection we were able to find a place to live at least until January! It is really cute and colorful. There is a community pool, which we have yet to use. But I am sure when it gets over 100 we will use quite frequently. Apparently, it has been a mild May. It has not broken 100 yet which is unusual for this time of year.

So far I like Tucson, but obviously it is very different than Seattle. I have to get used to all the brown. There is so much cactus! I didn't even know that there were this many types of cactus.

I am going to try and post some pics but I never can figure out how to put them after what I write instead of before.

In Tucson!

After 1,600 miles we made it to Tucson. We left on Sunday the 9th of May, and got in on Wed. night. Although we did spend all day Tuesday in Las Vegas with Moises' cousin.

We spent our first night camping in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. It was a bit chilly but we did camp under the stars without a tent. It was fun, but I think Luna was a bit nervous. The next day we got up early and headed to Las Vegas.

On our trip down to Tucson yesterday we drive over the Hoover Dam which was pretty cool, although I want to go back and take a tour.

We have been staying at some friends of friends in Tucson, and they have been very nice and welcoming. Hopefully we will find a place soon, we have a few leads. I went to school today and got my books for my first class, and met my program directors.

It was only 85 today but it seemed pretty hot to Moises and I, coming from Seattle. Tomorrow its suposed to be 91!

Below are a few pics from the trip.

Less than one week left!

Wow, less than one week left before we start the road trip down to Arizona! Last weekend we had a mini gathering/goodbye party. It was nice to see everyone one last time. But this time it was not as quite as emotional considering it is only Arizona, and I will have normal cell phone and internet service! And I am expecting many people to come visit!

Here are a few pics! The one of Melissa, Loren, and I is great because I don't think the three of us have been in the same place since 2005!!

Eva and I are bowling in the other picture, but don't we look adorable? I will miss you Eva!!
