It's the night before I leave for Buenos Aires and I can't believe it's finally time for me to go! After a fun, relaxing, looong 2-month winter break, I never thought the day would actually come for me to leave. (Since Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere, it's their summer vacation now, which means their semester does not start until March). Even though I've gone through stages of being nervous, excited, and terrified to start my semester abroad, now, more than anything I'm just feeling anxious to get going and jump right in.
I'm really excited to start practicing my Spanish, meet the other students on my program and move in with my host family. From exchanging a few emails with them, my family seems very warm and welcoming. I'll do my best to update this blog with exciting adventures of steak, tango and leather goods, (all big deals in Argentina).
After a week of scrambling to run errands, a long day of packing and a wonderful last dinner out with my family, I'm finally ready to go to sleep before the big day.
¡Buenas Noches!
So excited for you! Can't wait to visit you. Find the best places to eat in Argentina and we'll go there!

ReplyDeleteHi Clara! It was such fun "skyping" with you the other day. I was wondering if the delay in starting your class or classes means you will be coming home later. By now, or when you get to reading this, you probably know more about your classes. I look forward to reading your blog about it. Much love, Grandma.
