Day 11, Argentina

This has been a crazy week for sure! I have lost 11 pounds so far, which is right on track, but I am going to increase my green tea and started taking vitamins to hopefully keep it up. The biggest thing on my mind though is the fact that I’ve been accepted to WOL Argentina in the fall!!! (For those of you who may not know, WOL (Word of Life) Argentina is a Bible Institute in-you guessed it, Argentina.) I’ll be going in September as part of their Bilingual Program, where I’ll take intense Spanish classes (the equivalent of 300 course hours!) and also Bible Classes. Along with the excitement of getting the acceptance email Tuesday morning, came the stress of the dreaded conversation with my dad! Breaking the news to him was so nerve-wrecking, and it went about as expected- he’s furious! So now I’ve been trying to stay out of the house and out of his way as much as possible to try and ease the tension. It also means that even though it’s finally out, I can’t really talk about plans or anything openly at home because it will just irritate him more. So yeah, fun stuff!

On a lighter note, I am making a list of things I can’t wait to eat when I get done with hCG! This is brought on by my mom who, after months of me telling her that we should try Marco’s pizza, decided to get it for everyone last night, and go on about it to me and insist that I try it when I can! Thanks Ma! lol

1.       El J’s (the best Mexican food EVA!)

2.       Marco’s

3.       Chinese! (From anywhere-not so picky with the Asian food)

4.       Olive Garden

5.       Emilio’s

6.       ______________ Suggestions?

* And no, I do not intend to eat these things all at once, but over the span of however long my break is! I don’t want to end up back at square one!!!

PS: I’m definitely looking forward to experiencing some Argentine cuisine!! (In moderation of course ;)
