After an awe-inspiring and relaxing four days in Guatemala over spring break, where I thought I had hay fever, it turns out I was developing a cold. After 9 months of dressing overly warm (a real feat for me), popping vitamin C pills regularly, and keeping my distance from anyone who sneezed, I have finally succumb to sickness. Bummer.
But onto a more positive note, traveling with S was a real joy as we split our time in Guatemala between serene Lake Atitlan and colorful Antigua. I could feel my pace of life slowing down immediately once we arrived on the lake as I spent time lounging at our lush eco-friendly hostel--a true reprieve from the demands of law school. In Antigua, Spanish style architecture and engaging locals kept S and I wandering around and taking photos (and being photographed! Not many asian tourists in Guatemala apparently) from dusk to dawn.
Less than one month to finals, then write-on, then one day to breath before summer job begins (with my birthday jumbled in there somewhere). Gotta fight through the sickness then fight through the pain of trying to catch up with all the work I haven't been doing these last few weeks. Can I do it!? Only time will tell...
& finally,
Happy b-bday Jmei.
