So, I'm in the Cleveland Airport, waiting to get on the first leg of my trip! It's been a long, busy last few days, with birthdays and packing and planning! Also, this trip has been a long time coming, since before last summer! I can't believe it's finally here. Whoa. It doesn't seem real that this time tomorrow, I will be in Argentina! I've got a long trip there ahead of me, but right now, it seems like it just snuck up on me all of the sudden and that I will be there before I know it!
I'm kind of nervous about fitting into the family and at work, and about all the small details that i have no idea about or control over right now! I just don't want to stick out like a sore thumb, but I know I will! And I just hope to be competent enough to explain myself in simple situations!
On the other hand, I'm so excited to be in a Spanish-speaking country, and to learn all about the culture of Argentina! I can't wait to finally get better at Spanish, and to be working in a hospital! (Although I have no idea what I will be doing!)
I know I'm in for a big culture shock, but I don't really know too much about it and I don't want to have any expectations going in. I just want to keep an open mind and be able to adapt. And I know that while i will miss everyone at home and at school and am sooo thankful for your love and support, I can't wait to start my adventure! :D
... "Leavin' on a jet plane!" (however, I do know when I'll be back again -- 10 short weeks from now!)
Peace!
