7 Days Till Chile

So last night I watched Anthony Bourdain No Reservations on Chile. It was like 2am and I was about to go to bed but while flipping through I saw he was in Chile so I had to watch it. I realized last night that I really don't know much about Chile. All I really know is in the 70's america helped stage a military coo. Then in the early 90's they elected their first president. And ever since then they have been turning in a world power and they have the best wine! Heck i don't even know how much that is true but that is what I think I know about Chile. Lord I need a Chilean History book.

Only 7 Days! I kind of feel like this life is coming to an end and i'm going to be placed in a whole new universe. Oh hell yeah bring on the aliens. The family I'll be living with is really smart. Three of them are engineers and the mother is a insurance adjuster. The best part is that they live less than three blocks from the beach.

I really hope I take advantage of this adventure. I think my fears of being that hermit that doesn't get out and experience will actually make me experience every part of the Chilean culture. The language barrier oddly enough is what I feel is going to be the most frustrating for me. So speaking of which i'm gonna go now and practice an hour of Spanish.

22 Days Till Chile

Chile is fast and coming! Today I bought my plane ticket and sent my final paper work into the Study Abroad office. I also got my Yellow Fever shot today. Shots make me tired. I slept a good 6 hours since 8am. Maybe it's just me milking the whole getting a shot ordeal. So the only thing I have left is my Visa. God don't even get me started! Those people are irritating. But it's ok. I believe it will all workout. The only good thing that is going to come of me having to get my Visa is my trip to DC. I love DC. I've only been there 3 times but I just think the city is so friggin awesome!

But anyway....
