Blah diddly Blah

So the stress is finally kicking in, I am actually coming to the realization that I am leaving next month and that I won't be coming back for almost half a year....holy crap! I think my stress is what's causing me to lash out in random spurts of anger towards my family. Hopefully they will forgive me haha...

Thank goodness I found some other people from my program who have a layover in Dallas that way I can not be so freaking alone when flying into Buenos Aires because there seems to be absolutely no one flying out of DC which I thought was strange but apparently there are very few people from the east coast going to Argentina this semester, everyone seems to be from the midwest and westcoast which is pretty sweet actually because its going to be such a mix of different cultures just within our own program.

I am so pumped for this semester I can't even contain it I seriously don't know what to do with myself it is just so unreal to actually be doing something like this is sick nasty.

I honestly don't know what else to say but the countdown continues!!!!

A Step in tthe Right Direction

So I leave in Tminus 39 days for Argentina, and I cannot say that I am at ease by any means. Usually I would consider myself a generally go-with-the-flow kind of person but in this case I am freaking out. I just get this haunting feeling that I am forgetting something important, that when I arrive in Buenos Aires my check-in advisor is just going to look down the list and say, "I'm sorry ma'am we don't have anyone by that name," or worse I get on the wrong plane and end up in China for god's sake. I am normally stress-free in new and exciting situations but this is kind of huge for me. I have never been outside of the country ( I am not including the Bahamas because that certainly doesn't count).

I still don't know who my host family is going to be and I am the only student from SU going to Mendoza, needless to say I am aprehensive. I have grown up in the D.C. metro area almost my entire life I think at one point I may have been an outdorsey person but to be completely honest I love sitting inside enjoying the comfort of air conditioning and WI-FI everywhere I go. I wouldn't say that I am a prissy, privileged city thang, nor have I ever been but I have never really ventured into the wilderness for more than a camping trip or two.

This past Spring semester I kind of got screwed over in terms of my class schedule. I was supposed to continue on to the next Spanish level- Grammer and Composition, however, I was scheduled to take a separate course for my communications requirement that was only offered every other semester. So I don't know if my spanish skills are going to be up to par with everyone else's. I have heard that you pick up everything quickly....we shall seee.

Regardless, I am hella excited for everything it is going to be incrdedible and I was looking at pictures and postings from students who went through the program last year and I just got this warm bubbly feeling in the pit of my stomach, I know that once I get there I am never going to want to leave. Not that the lovely town of Selinsgrove in the middle of central Pennsylvania isn't a hot spot of thrills and excitement surrounding my home university- but compared to what I have seen of the pictures and all else this trip is going to be EPICCCCC


so that's all for now sorry to destress and vent for my first posting but hey ya don't like it- don't read it :o)
