From Bmore to BA

Hmmm…what to say here. I’m exhausted from running around and packing all day so I don’t really have the energy to whip up some overly dramatic send-off, complete with the standard quote from Robert Frost or Dr. Suess. But, it is crazy to think that this trip is actually about to happen. Luckily today I caught the last episode of PTI and the last two episodes of the Simpsons (en inglés) that I’ll likely be seeing for awhile. It’s already been 4 months since school’s been out…unbelievable. So I should probably wrap this thing up, lest I bore you with more mind-numbing ramblings. Next time I write to you, my friends, I will be far far away in a land where the beer flows like wine and the toilet water swirls counterclockwise.

Adios,

P.S. If you don’t get any of my references…my apologies, but I’m still gonna use them anyway

SO I leave 2 weeks from tommorow. I’m starting to get really pumped, but also a tad bit nervous. What the Hell am I getting myself into!?!?! I was totally cool before Barcelona last year…but I guess that was “a different story altogether” (just like the shopkeeper and his son). Barca just sort of fell into place…and came right after a crazy semester at school.

Anyway, it’s all good, and I know it’ll be a blast. In my usual fashion, I’ve left everything to the last minute, so it’ll be nice if I can get all of my shit together in time (I still don’t have housing past a week in a hostel). If not – hey, at least the experience will be more interesting – especially if I’m homeless.

I’ve been doing some thinking about this blog, too. Although my primary intent is to entertain you with my trials and tribulations as I try to make my way through South America with nothing but my charming good looks and piss poor spanish, I decided I’d be so kind as to periodically drop some knowledge on ya’ll. Basically, instead of just visiting my webpage to kill 5 agonizing minutes at work, you may actually learn a few things. Possible topics include, but are not limited to everything from Jewish life in Argentina to the science behind the Brazilian Bikini wax. So, open up your mind, take a deep breath, and prepare to be schooled.

I've got just a few weeks until D-Day arrives (knock on wood). Until then, I'll be engaged in a mad rush to gather up all of the necessary supplies, tie up the loose ends, and watch as many episodes of ... [Continue reading this entry]
