Welcome to the new blog! I've decided to change format for the umpteenth (and hopefully last) time due to formatting and copyright issues. I changed over all of my big blog posts, and will be adding pictures as I can. I'm on the home internet right now, so uploading may be slow.
In other and more exciting news, I am going to Brazil this summer for a WHOLE FREAKING MONTH! In March, I decided to apply last minute to a study abroad program through MSU called Healthcare in Brazil, and I got accepted!
I will be staying in Salvador, Brazil, which is the 3rd largest city in Brazil. It's a port city, located in the state of Bahia, and is right smack on the Atlantic coast. Our hostel is literally 5 minutes from the beach and offers surfing lessons.
Of course, it will not be all fun and games. Monday and Tuesday I will be in the classroom, and Wednesday through Friday of each week will consist of educational field trips to hospitals, clinics, and other areas of health care.
BUT, even with all the work, I am sure I will have a blast. I've met most of the other members of the group, and they seem pretty awesome. A few of us are talking about going to Rio for a weekend, and many of us want to try scuba-diving. Plus, one of my favorite professors may be joining us, so I'm looking forward to having a beer with him and eating all kinds of tasty Brazilian food. Oh, and I'm learning Portuguese!
Over and out,
Brit
