The ABC's of Predeparture...

A is for “anxiety”- As in, I have never been more anxious about something in my life! Of course, I suppose this is natural. But seriously, I think I might develop an ulcer before I even leave the country. And let’s be honest…that’s probably not such a good idea. Tuesday the 29^th can’t get here soon enough!

B is for “baggage”- As in, how on earth am I going to fit four months of clothes, including a seasonal change, into one suitcase less than 50 pounds?? I’m not really sure yet how this is going to work out, but one can only hope that it will all come together in the end. I’ll keep you posted.

C is for "Cochabamba”- As in Cochabamba, Bolivia…the place that I will be calling home for the next semester. As nervous/anxious as I am about leaving the familiar Columbia, SC for the not so familiar Cochabamba, Bolivia, I can honestly say that excitement is winning over!

All in all, I can’t wait for what I am about to experience. The ups, the downs, the ins, the outs, and everything in between with this new culture is something I can’t wait to start learning. Only a few more days!

Hasta pronto-
Kristen
