and away we go!

I'm (finally) getting ready to board the plane that will take me to Santiago by 7:45 am tomorrow morning. Alex, another AU student in my program, is on this flight with me -- which is awesome because she was able to meet up with me at the airport and relieve a little bit of my intense boredom. She can also relate to the "omg wtf ahhhh I'm going to CHILE?!??!?!?" emotions that I'm currently experiencing. I've never been on an international flight before, so I'm pretty pumped for the movies and meals that await me. And sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.

Hasta pronto, Santiago. I hope we get along.
