I can feel it. This was the right decision for me.
Currently, I am at an orientation in Buenos Aires. Interestingly enough, the venue in which it is held is an old Catholic boarding school. Pictures coming soon...I have met so many people from all over the world--Myrthe from Holland, Lisanne from Belgium, Karl from Sweden, Victoria from Sweden, Ellen from Norway. It's like a mini United Nations here. Apparently, I do not fit the typical American stereotype as everyone, upon meeting me, thinks I am from Sweden. Perhaps I should not correct them and let them continue to assume this.
Last night, we had a talent show followed by a dance party. I don't think I have ever danced so much in my life! If that was any indication of the night life to come, I cannot wait.
I leave here in about an hour to meet for the first time my host family. The bus ride will be approximately 12 hours, depending on traffic and such. Finally, this all feels so real. I cannot wait to meet my host family, although I'm sure it will be uncomfortable at first.
"Hola, me llamo Taylor. Mucho gusto. Lo siento pero necesito dormir. Buenas noches."
I have not slept for more than 3 hours at a time for the past week. Now I understand why siestas are necessary!
Besos y abrazos until next time.
