I'M BAAACCCCCKKKK

HEY! Wow, I missed my blog! So, I just got back about a week ago from my delegation to Nicaragua! Let me just say, it was incredible. I can't even begin to describe everything that happened. First of all let me just say, Nicaragua is the most beautiful place, the scenery is amazing, the people are welcoming and kind, and it's sad that they have so many problems. Also the people I went with were awesome... I love everyone on my delegation!
There are a few main problems in Nicaragua, the debt they can never pay off, the IMF and WTO's "structural adjustment programs", & the immense poverty. Nicaragua seriously is in the middle of an economic war. It's sad that country's like the US spend billions of dollars on war and weapons that kill when Nicaraguan people can't afford the necessities to live.
Anyway, it was an experience I will never ever forget... More on it later I suppose.
It's nice to be home, but I kind of miss all my friends... Although Sara I had fun yesterday. :-)
Hmmm, so now that I'm back, here's my life as of now, running, working ( which I'm doing right now), hanging out. I would like to say that I was invited to go to the beach, Hershey Park, Ohio twice, but I had to say no to a lot of those options.... Boo hoo
Alright and now for the random shallow part about my Nicaraguan trip.... I SAW JA RULE at the airport, and got a picture with him... YAY... haha

alright that's all for now, because I should be checking on the kids I'm babysitting.... haha, oh and Harry potter 3... What a good movie, and I'm dying to see farinheight 911! Peace, Bernadette
