Soo, it's been kinda a rocky road in Bogota lately. They're been some "issues" with IH Bogota to put it lightly. If any potential IH Bogota teachers are reading this, please feel free to email me to get a full history! Also, I got mugged the other day. I was so stressed out about the issues with the school that I decided to go for a relaxing walk. Unfortunately, as I crossed a busy road listening to my ipod, the music suddenly stopped and I reached into my pocket only to find no ipod! Grrrrr! Not impressed! I even ran after a guy saying "Fui robaron! Mi Ipod!" (I was robbed! My Ipod!). I'm not really sure what I expected him to do or say (perhaps hand over my Ipod?) but he just looked at me confused, shrugged, and continued walking. Well, at least my parents know what to get me for Christmas this year!
I'm at home for Christmas which is great! I originally wasn't going to come home but decided to surprise my family at the last minute. In light of what's recently happened in Bogota, I'm really glad that I decided to come home.
I'm also really looking forward to flying back to Colombia on the 28th of December to celebrate the New Year in Cartagena with my friend Chanell! Cartagena is on the Carribean coast in Colombia so we'll be ringing in the new year on the beach! I'll finally be able to get some color! Bogota has a mild/chilly climate because, while it's right near the equator, it's high altitude keeps the temperature down. I'm really looking forward to finally enjoying some of the Colombian sun!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
Ivy
