It was a great semester! Without doubts, the best experience of my entire life.I remember since department of international studies of my university told me that I won the scholarship to go to Ole Miss, I was so excited about that. There were so many things to do, and my first thought was "I don't have time enough !!!". In less than a month I had to get my U.S. Visa, prepare and send a lot of papers, visit my mom in Argentina and get the tickets to fly !
After a long waiting, the day came and I arrived at Ole Miss. My first impression was "This is awesome !!!", I could not believe my eyes; everything was clean and tidy, and the campus was huge!. And the best part is the first impresion remained until the end of the journey. I was so anxious to meet new people and make friends for different cultures, and fortunately this was a great opportunity to do so!
I met a lot of new friends from different parts of the entire world, and I met some American friends too, that were so friendly and invited us to their houses to discover how is a tipical american family. This was the best part of the trip, meet people. The other spanish speakers and I were in many places with different people who showed and teached us a lot of America, tipical food, places and culture.
What I remember most about the trip (besides the friends I met) was the Football season (everyone goes crazy and the party in the grove was so nice!), the travel to Las Vegas (I won $5.000!!!) and the Grand Canyon (the most beautiful place I never seen).
Definitely, as I said, was the greatest experience of my life, and without any doubts I'll remember it forever and I can't wait to get a new oportunity to come back.
Exactly this is the best chance to know about other cultures,or people and their life styles. I wanna enjoy this great opportunity enough.
