Hola everyone! My name is Sarah Hammaker, and I am a soon-to-be junior majoring in Psychology and Sociology with a minor in Spanish. Here’s your chance to see what is truly happening here in Puebla, Mexico, an extraordinarily interesting and unique city of the world. I have been studying here for almost THREE WEEKS NOW!! (Where did the time go??) Tomorrow marks the halfway point on this incredible study abroad journey.

I cannot imagine a better way to spend part of my summer than to be here in Puebla. I am currently pondering ways to stay here for six MORE weeks (wouldn’t that be awesome Mom and Dad?) I feel that I have learned more so far in relation to my academic studies than any classroom could possibly teach me. In addition, the life lessons I have internalized already cannot be described using words, and I am constantly surprised at what I discover. The many moments of laughter, the heart-felt coffee conversations, and the times I finally clearly convey my opinions in Spanish, all point to human connection as a major proponent of fulfillment. With this lesson learned already, I am enthralled to find out what is in store these next few weeks to come.  

Since I only have three weeks left (again, boooo), I will try my best to fill you in on the multitude of experiences I have been blessed with already, as well as my future experiences as I stumble upon them. Feel free to make any suggestions, comments, and ask any questions! For real, I want to tell you ALL about what happens here!!
