So I think I was more excited about the trip when I was writing all these cover letters to different NGOs in Argentina and applying for different fellowships to pay for it. Now that it is really close to the date of my departure, I really don't want to go. I am having little panic attacks left and right, like "oh gosh, would that taxi person really pick me up," or "oh dear, I hope this whole planning thing is not a scam," or "darn it, what happens if I don't understand a word that they are saying and I am supposed to do a research project on their judicial system?!!!!"
In comparison, the trip to China last summer was such a breeze. My mother was there to pick me up from the airport as she left the US before I did; I had relatives in every city; I had an actual American program that I was part of; I made automatic friends through them; I had my friends from second grade there; and I spoke the freaking language. Dude, I really hope Argentina treats me well - crossing my fingers!

Wow,Argentina! That's so exciting. Hope Horhay picks you up on time. Damn him and his lack of last name.
