It’s hard to believe that tomorrow I’ll be on a totally different continent. My week has been so jam packed with reviews, packing, and club activities that I feel like I’ve barely had time to let everything sink in. I woke up at 8 this morning to cross off the last things I needed to do to get ready and still have that feeling that I’m forgetting something. But I know I have my passport, electronics, money, and some clothes so I’ve got all the important stuff. The day of traveling ahead is a little daunting but I actually kinda enjoy flying so I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up on some of the sleep I missed this week on the plane tonight and be able to wake up ready to hit the town in Chile.
All the last minute stress aside, I’m incredibly excited to arrive in Santiago. I’ve never been to a Spanish speaking country so this will be a totally new experience for me culturally and I’m looking forward to broadening my horizons in that way. I’m also looking forward to getting to actually walk through the projects we have talked about. Especially the Innovation Center, Parque de la Infancia, and the Benedictine Monastery. The day trip to Valparaíso is another thing that I’m excited about because of how colorful everything is there. I can’t wait to be somewhere warm with so many fascinating things to do.
