Pre January Orientation

Ok, its a little difficult to write everything in Spanish, so for now everything will be in English. If anyone wants me to translate my posts to Spanish, just let me know.

So anyways, this post is a just a pre writing quip to my January orientation, which is coming up really soon, on January 5th and 6th, and I'm super excited! I just got my email about it yesterday, and apparently we get to stay overnight with all the other outbound students, and go swimming, and everything.

HERE'S A EDITED COPY OF THE EMAIL:
(There are some blank spots because I didn't want you to see certain names)

I know this is a really short, and very unorganized post, but I just wanted to get something in, in case I forget to later, because I'm really busy this month. Remember though, that if you ever want to chat with me or ask me any questions, just send me an email at Meghan.95.Dushko@gmail.com, or leave a comment here. Hope you enjoyed the post, and make sure to check back for a post on the 6th or the 7th of January! HAPPY NEW YEARS!

First Post/ My introduction to the Rotary Program

En Español : Hola, Mi nombre es Ruth Meghan Anna. Yo soy de Nueva York en los Estados Unidos, y yo voy a Bolivia el próximo año con el Rotary YEP. Hago este blog para hacer un seguimiento de mis experiencias para el próximo año a dos años. Por ahora, no hay mucho que escribir, pero voy a publicar tanto como me sea posible. Me voy para Bolivia en agosto, pero aún tengo muchas conferencias y eventos que atender antes de irme, así que sigue leyendo para ver fotos y saber más sobre el programa y mis experiencias.


................Lo siento si una gran cantidad de lo que estaba mal, todavía tengo un poco de problemas con mi español.
