Estoy emocionada!

Hola!
I know I said I probably wouldn't write until I was in Argentina but I have way too many exciting things to talk about! I have received a lot more information from AFS. I have 17 days left in my home in Pennsylvania. It's a bit weird to think that my days are numbered here but I am still excited. I need to be in Miami on August 18th for an orientation with the other AFS students from America going to Argentina. From there, we leave Miami at abour 9:30 at night on the 19th and we arrive in Buenos Aires at 6 in the morning on the 20th. From there I will take part in another orientation with ALL the AFS kids in the world going to Argentina. Since my town in Argentina is in the wayyy north, I will take a bus with the other exchange students living in Formosa from Buenos Aires to our new homes. There I will be greeted by my host family and the wonderful AFS staff in Formosa. To say the least, I AM SO EXCITED!

Right now we are currently waiting for my Visa. Which is kind of the most important thing and it is still not completed yet. It is coming soon though, hopefully next week. If I don't have that visa, I don't go anywhere so it is kind of making me nervous that I don't have one yet and I leave in less than 3 weeks. I'm thinking positive though, I know it will all come together and there still is time. The next few things on my agenda are to pack and get all of my things together for my adventure.

I just recently finished my online class so I am 100% on summer vacation now and I have been with my friends all the time. I am going to miss them so much. They are so supportive though and they know I really want this. I couldn't ask for better friends. My family has been incredible too, my mom especially. She has put everything together for me and I am so thankful. I am so thankful for everyone who has helped me get ready for this in some way or another. I couldn't ask for more supportive people.

Now really, this is the last post before I am in Argentina! In 3 weeks my life is going to be totally different and I am SO ready. Besos :)


Edit: I GOT MY VISA! Now everything is in order to go!
