25 more days until I leave New York City for the Paris of the South - Buenos Aires! Study Abroad has been something I've been looking forward to since high school, and I agonized over my location for months (a post on that later). I can't wait to actually land and walk the streets I have googled far too many times and live my life in another language.
This winter break has been so incredibly long. Apparently time does not fly when you are not having fun. I've been doing my best to fill my days, but with friends back at school or already off to their study abroad locations it's been hard to do much. This week I am heading off to Burlington VT and Boston MA to visit some friends at school so that will help pass some time. I'm actually really excited to be on a campus and go to a class! When I get home, I need to start getting serious about preparing and packing. (Any tips from those of you who have already left?) Despite the copious amounts of time I find myself with, I have been admittedly lazy with actually using it for anything useful (I did download DuoLingo though, Phoebe!). I need to brush up on some spanish - maybe by watching some of the movies by Argentine directors - there have been a number of oscar nominated Argentine films in the past few years!
I will be photo blogging for IES Abroad, my program, as well as writing two posts for Macalester on "The Orange", but I wanted to make a personal account where I could write whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Here is where I will document my trials, tribulations, musings and rants and also where I will bombard you with photos photos and more photos. So here goes - let's see if I figure blogspot out or if I slink back to tumblr.
