Whew, time has flown since I wrote in here last! The time is upon me: I am officially making my final preparations to leave this coming Tuesday!! I am feeling such a mixture of emotions right now: excitement, sadness, nervousness, happiness, you name it! To be honest, I think I am still experiencing a bit of denial about the gravity of my upcoming adventure.
Anyways, I have received word about my Chilean family and I wanted to share a little bit of information about them with you all. I will be living in Ñuñoa which is a very nice part of Santiago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91u%C3%B1oa). My host family consists of 3 people: Paloma and Jaime, parents, and Valentina, their daughter. They have previous experience hosting female students in their home and they seem like lovely people. You are sure to hear all about them in future posts!
Also, I want to extend a huge thank you to all of my friends, family, and my wonderful boyfriend for making this past week so lovely and memorable for me. I really appreciate everyone taking time out of their schedules to visit with me one last time before I go. The amount of love and support I have received has been phenomenol and I can't say enough how much it means to me! You guys are the greatest and I love you to death! I sure am going to miss all of you.
And now on to the next chapter. . . this time next week I will be experiencing a whole new world. Here's to all the great memories I will make in my new country with new friends: SALUD!
