Ah, here it is:
These will be the chronicles of my experiences in the wonderful country of Argentina. I will be leaving in 3 days to go on a month-long study abroad program in the city of Buenos Aires, to study Spanish and the Tango. This is my first blog, and as such will be poorly set up, worded and organized. But we make do.
That said, it's 3 days before my trip, and I am freaking out. Packing is going well enough. I still need things, but I'm working on it. I know the trip is going to be amazing and glorious, but right now all it looks like is just a daunting wall of... something, I don't know... Mom has been showing me lots and LOTS of tango movies, so I can say I know what it's SUPPOSED to look like...
Well, as the think tank drains, this first entry comes to a close...
Not really sure how to end these... I'm up for suggestions...
Anyhoo...
UNTIL NEXT TIME, INTERNET!!!!
