Bienvenidos a Panama!

We're in Panama! After a 3 hour flight we made it safely in Panama City. Right now we're in a hotel hanging out. We've filled out forms for our visas, gotten medical checks, and taught the afs panama volunteers about chatroulette. They were all cracking up at it and were determined to find a "hot girl." When we first got there we had to go through immigration and customs and when we got our passports stamped and got our luggage. We then drove around Panama City and saw a bunch of buildings and places and then we drove up to the hotel. We had to fill out forms for Visas and one of the volunteers told us that we couldn't make any mistakes. Most of us had to fill out multiple forms because we kept on messing up. I had to fill out two forms, another girl had to fill out three. I don't know if it was the fact that I was tired or what but I thought it was the FUNNIEST thing ever. Now we're all starving and waiting for dinner but we have no idea what time it's at. The hotel is really cool because it has a pool on the roof and you can see soo many different buildings. So far I LOVE PANAMA! I think it's so cool and different and I can't wait to go to David and meet my family.

Airport

I'm currently sitting in the airport in Boston with a few hours before my flight. Saying goodbye to my parents was really hard and I definitely had a few tears in my eyes. Right now I just need to look at what's ahead of me. I'm going to Miami today AND PANAMA TOMORROW! This is so exciting.

Goodbye parties

Yesterday my friends threw me a goodbye pool party. It was so nice to see everyone one last time and be able to say goodbye to everyone. I don't leave until Thursday, but I have a lot to do between now and then so Monday sounded like a better day. There was swimming, food and of course silly string. Needless to say...they got me.

After the party I thought I was going to my friends house to watch the bachelorette. What I didn't know was that a bunch of people were there and they all surprised me. It was hallarious becuase I saw my dad and I was like "wait...what" and

then I walked

closer and everyone else was there and I stood like a fool for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out what was going on. We had a bonfire and ate cake and played silly games, and played with sparklers and talked. My friend Shelly who lives in the cape over the summer and NEVER comes back until fall CAME TO SEE ME! It was a wonderful day. I am going to miss all my friends so much!

Uniform shoes

I have recently learned that I need brown mary janes for my school uniform. I ordered these yesterday. I leave for my first orientation in Miami in 10 days!
