The day before the rest of my life, or just 6 months...

So I figured I'd write something right now while I'm awake and not freaking out too much about all the stuff I need to get done today. The last two nights I have had some of the weirdest and most intense dreams I've ever had before. Last night, as embarassing as it is to say, I basically dreamed that I was in the My Bloody Valentine movie right where it left off (SPOILER ALERT:The killer survives at the end) and basically spent the whole night running away from/fighting him throughout their little Pennsylvania mining town. The night before, however, I dreamed that I was in Argentina on the beginning of my trip. For some reason, Anthony Hopkins played the husband in the couple whose house I will be staying at. It was pretty interesting to see him talking in Spanish. But I digress....

Tomorrow I will be boarding a plane at 4:25pm, assuming the snowstorm doesn't delay anything, and heading off to Buenos Aires, Argentina. These last couple of weeks have been filled with goodbyes, more than I've ever had to say before. The hardest part was realizing that for some of these people, it could probably be the last time I see them and it's pretty weird. Fensty gave me a speech and Jason was the last one to see me off from D.C. All my NJ friends I've said goodbye to and it's really weird to think that I won't be seeing them for so long. Even though it's only a day away, this still doesn't feel real. I guess it'll really hit me when I'm on the plane or walking up to Argentine customs to pay for my visa. Matt and Vanessa are already in Europe having their own adventures and mine is about to start in 24 hours. I don't know what the next few months hold for me, whether it'll be amazing, OK, terrible, whatever. I'm sure it'll be a blast and I can't wait to come back fluent. This is my number one goal, among other things...Anyway, I'm going to stop writing this now and get started on all the preparations. I have to check what I can pack, pack it all up, and double check everything else that I need. The next time you guys hear from me I'll be living in La Casa de Vainilla. And keep in touch! Argentina is only 2 hours ahead and they stay up very late, so even if you can't call me, I'd still appreciate AIM, Skype, e-mail and Facebook. Adios amigos! Que tengan un buen semestre y verano!
