Predeparture Woes

So, in three and a half weeks I will be leaving my safe and comfortable home in North Carolina to live and learn in Buenos Aires for 5 months. When I tell people this, the normal reaction goes something like this: "OMG that sounds AMAZING!!! You must be sooo excited!"

My answer, quite simply, is "no."

I am not excited. "Terrified" is probably a more apt description of how I am feeling. However, behind the fear there is, i have to admit, a small smidgen of hope. Ever since I began looking into doing something like this I've heard the same thing over and over again: "The experience will change your life." So, here's hoping it'll change it for the better.

Before I leave I'll be using this blog to update everyone on how the preparations for the trip are going, and of course once I'm actually gone this will be your typically awesome travel blog.

So, with this short intro I leave you writhing in anticipation for my next post, I'm sure.

Chau for now!
