Buenos Aires

Well I am officially in the Paris of South America, otherwise known as Buenos Aires. Not much to report yet, but I am spending the night in a hotel and will be meeting my host family tomorrow. We had a delicious lunch today and sat through many hours of orientation.
We arrived early this morning and I am overloaded with emotions. Excited to be in a new city and to have the opportunity to explore and learn about a new culture. Nervous about starting over in a new family and dreading those inevitable awkward moments. Sad to know that about half of the kids on the program will be heading back to Santiago in about 2 weeks and I won't see them for a month.
But I guess being overloaded with emotions is normal when studying abroad! Wish me luck tomorrow.
Chau for now
Besos y abrazos
