The First (real) Post

So, this is my first (real) post from Guatemala. And you got some text and some videos.

Until today I was in a house with 5 other students. But 3 have left for a different house as of this afternoon. Apparently, their school (which is a different school than the one I'm in) had to rearrange some things. I'll write more about my family here later.

At my school it's a 1:1 student-teacher ratio. Most of the people I've met are with a group. For instance, right now there's a large group of students from the University of the Pacific. Next week (I've been told), apparently another group will be coming in from a different school.

So, one thing I wanted to do with this blog is make some videos--in addition to photos--with my D90. The two videos below are my first attempts.

I shot the first video inside my classroom. It's the first video I've made since 9th grade. (My 9th grade video was probably better. Sorry about the quality, but a lot of data was lost in the transfer onto the blogger site.)


The second video is a short tour of the backyard of my school. The small red rooms you see are classrooms.

UPDATE SOON

I'm in Antigua, Guatemala. School started today. I will be updating with some photos soon. (Internet connection is not bad.)
