Getting Ready...

Hello all-
Because of an unexpected but delightful visit from Jackworth Smith, I have left all of my packing to today as I am leaving at 1pm tomorrow! I can't really believe that I am actually leaving already, it seems as though my summer only started. The scariest part is that I will be doing homework again in under 2 weeks. I am not very happy about that.
I do have a few very exciting things to look forward to:
1. Arriving in a new city: this is very exciting for me because I feel like I haven't visited a new city that I really loved in a while. I am not trying to have too high of expectations but from what I hear Buenos Aires is awesome.
2. Meeting my homestay lady: I got an email from her the other day, she seems very nice and young, still in school. It seems as though she may feel more like a roomate than a mother, which I am actually quite excited for.
3. David Bluestone: my dear brother is coming to visit me on August 10th, very exciting
4. Ben Master: my wonderful friend from oberlin is currently studying in santiago, chile and I am planning on visiting him sometime in august.
5. Bridget Moriarty: my fellow buenos aires adventurer will be arriving at the end of august for the semester

I will be traveling to South America tomorrow....at last...

Check back often to hear about my trip!
...and email me, i will most likely be lonely at the beginning
