Staging!

My staging kit came in the mail today...

Washington D.C.! We're staying at a super-classy, airport Holiday Inn on top of that. I pretty much cannot wait for the tacky comforters, sweet fake-gold guilding on the mirrors, and the complimentary shampoo that I'll borrow, as hello, those are bottles that hold less than 3 oz. What's up, carry-on hygienic products.

In the meantime, one of the girls in my Spanish class decided to inform me that, having grown up in Guatemala, she'd been to Panama and it was "the dirtiest of the Central American countries." I'm totally not going to let that get me down though. I'll embrace the dirty. Except for probably not, because I'm a maniac about hygiene, but then again, apparently part of my job description is hygiene education, so maybe that's a good thing?

I DO know that I have absolutely nothing to say at this very moment, and that I'm the worst blog-keeper ever. Stick around though, as I'm sure things'll get more interesting as Spanish becomes the necessary tool for communication and I end up saying something stupid and insulting an entire country/people/culture inadvertantly. Fun times!

For now, however, I'm going to regress to the reading level of a ten year old, and go pick up the last Harry Potter book. Whatever, don't judge.
