Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes friends, it's finally here. My last spring break ever!! ... well unless I decide to become a teacher which I'm not expecting to happen....sorry Mr. BC. Anyways, another thing I will never have to do, at least not for a while is class. I have officially completed my last formal classes and finals. I aced everything and I am so happy I'm done. Whoo-hoo! Graduation is slowly but surely becoming reality.
In the past 3 days, I have taken three major Spanish exams. Pretty brutal but it's done. The funny thing is for spring break I'll be spending time in the mountains with my friend Kate, possibly doing a bit of Spanish to English translating for a missions team that's coming from Tennessee. I can honestly say I never thought this day would happen.
Last night, we went to a movie at this huge mall called Galerias. It's basically the American version of a mall aqui (here) in Nicaragua. We went to see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I'm still undecided whether I liked it or not. The movie was pretty trippy and super long but I think I liked it but then again I don't know. I gotta digest it a bit more. I don't know if it's still at the theater in the States but if you decide to see it, let me know what you think. An awesome thing though, for 6 of us to see a movie, it was about $20. That's only a ticket and a half back home. Crazy! After the movie, we went to a Mexican restuarant in the mall and the food was delicious. I had something called Pechuga de Pollo and it was chicken cut into smaller pieces and covered with melted mozzerrella cheese. It came with these tortillas and a bean dip. It was quite phenomenal.
Like I said, spring break has begun and I'm very excited for the week to come. By the time I return, you'll hear more stories but the next few weeks will be incredibly busy. After I come back at the end of the week from spring break, I move very rapidly into the second section of the semester which is my internships. I will be doing 3 projects in 6 weeks. Very crazy busy but I will let you guys know more details as they come along.
It's almost April! Yikes, how dare time more so fast. I'm also in the middle of job searching among everything else. If everybody can be on the lookout for me, I would appreciate it very much. It's challenging but I'm persistent and determined! I have a resume ready to send to anyone who would like to check up on what I've done. I want to work in the Health care industry doing public relations. That is my passion..to merge what I know about media and communication with my desire to work with people who are both making a difference and looking to have a difference made on their behalf. I think a hospital is a great place to mix both the needs of an institution with the heart and needs of a people. Public relations is the bridge connecting the two. So if you know of any open opportunities or connections to people I can contact on my own, please email me at dilaunwhite@gmail.com Or if you just want to drop me a line to say hello, I welcome all and I would love to hear from you. I am also on Skype and my username is dilaun518.
Also I keep hearing that more and more people are reading my blog and I thank you for taking the time to hear about my adventures. For those who are not on Facebook and have not yet seen my photos, I'm going to post the public links to the facebook albums I've made so far in Central America:
