And the Countdown Begins

In 15 days I will be embarking on what I'm hoping will be the summer of my life! Although I have had many other fun summers and traveled internationally, I have never had 3 months to immerse myself into a culture that I am sure to love. As I pack into a storage unit in Manhattan, KS and head home to Colorado for a few days (on top of learning how to run this blog), I am getting very anxious and excited. I will be studying Spanish at the University of Belgrano in Buenos Aires, Argentina on two 4 week programs. During this time, I will be staying with a family and a roommate from the United States. At least I hope so...I am still waiting on this information. In these first 8 weeks, I will be doing excursions and some traveling on weekends. My program ends on July 21, however, my plane ticket is not scheduled to fly home until August 9!! This will give me some more time to travel around. The plan is for my dad to meet me in Buenos Aires and we will tour some more of South America. The details on this are pretty much up in the air. However, this blog will keep you all updated on what is going on and serve as my journal for my time abroad. I will post as many pictures as I can. Get excited for more posts to come!
