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.

¡Hola, gringo! ¡Que linda escuela! ¡Cuidado con los animales! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, my cousin's middle name is "Yaxkin," which I think is Mayan for "first son." That's interesting that they don't allow photography. I wonder if that explains why my family is bad at remembering to take pictures of anything...
The school looks gorgeous, and your videos have great quality. Hope you're having a good time, despite the warmth!
