Hello! well this will be my last entry for Puerto Rico, I was lucky enough to find a Starbucks with free wireless internet, so i have been updating and e-mailing people like crazy. I just want to tell you about last night. Me and some friends went to the bars and it was crazy fun! I didnt drink, just hung out and danced a little. But some of the people I met from the university trip were at the bars and they showed us around and it was seriously a blast. Talking ...

So I just went straight to the gym, ate lunch, then went to my other class - Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Family. The gym went well, I actu...

I am here in my room all ready for bed. I am so exhausted! Its not "quiet hours" just yet, but I was pretty close to falling asleep during our opening meeting tonight, so I am just gonna sleep early. Although there were a couple of things that the Dean said that I thought were interesting to share. He said that there are three things to remember about this trip. 1.
