It is an odd feeling to be officially creating this blog, because it means my trip to Chile is about to start. Something that for a long time was just an idea to me and now it is a reality. I finished the fall quater of my second year at the Univeristy of Denver on November 22, 2012, and since then I have been out of school completely. Thus giving me about 3 months to think about and prepare for my trip (or not to). However, those 3 months have come and gone and my trip is literally a day away. Bringing with it a whole new set of challenges; such as trying to pack a suitcase for a 5 month trip, buying way too many things to prepare for the trip, saying goodbyes to the people close to you, and trying to wrap my head around living outstide the U.S. All of which is completely new to me since I have lived in Colorado for my entire life, and never lived more than 20 minutes from home.
I am extremely excited to start this trip and to live in a different culture and all that will come with it. But, this trip did come about rather spontaneously if you will, and as so I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous or anxious about everything. Being an introvert, all of the possible scenarios about this trip run through my head and verge on being overwhelming, but then I just look at the weather in Vina Del Mar and all is well (a nice change from Colorado winter).
So here's to new experiences, new places, new languages, new freinds, and in therory a new life for 5 months!
