Before exiting America

Tonight is my final night in America. However, it feels nothing like it. With my entire family present, I feel as if I am staying home for good...except that all of my other friends my age are busy taking classes at their respective universities. Many have asked me if I am nervous...I am showing none of the usual symptoms. With living in another country for practically 5 months with a single mother (se llama Marta Ines Cal Rubino-that's her name), and having to confront every Porteno (someone who is native to Buenos Aires) with a mouthful of spanish, one would expect to be extremely nervous! But, I rather feel excited; I am ready to embark on this journey which will lead me to (hopefully) become proficient in espanol. But that is not the only thing. No, no I also hope to learn about myself and others AND learn within the classroom.


Learning in the classroom will encompass courses in the NON-sciences. Phew. I have been long awaiting this break from the stressful, objective, and sometimes impractical classes...which I am only taking in order to become accepted into medical school. Anyway, I plan on taking courses which will fulfill my undergrad requirements at Miami: Art History, Human Rights +Field Experience, Argentina Language and Culture, and maybe one more. I will get into these later on as I start my classes (early to mid-March).



I leave tomorrow at 5pm, have a one-stop to ATL and then I arrive Monday February 21st to Buenos Aires finally at about 8am. I will post one as soon as I arrive...although I know my schedule will be hectic and unclear then.

Hasta luego
