It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that I'll be living in South America in a mere two days. TWO DAYS. My to-do list is a mile and a half long, and yet there are only three important things left to do: finish packing, drive to the airport, and get on a plane.
And yet today feels like just another day. I am returning to my high school newspaper to talk about the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the high school workshop offered over the summer. I have to finish editing a few pieces for Scripps Showcase, one of the organizations that I was in charge of last semester. I should probably eat something too. My dog and I will most likely cuddle on the couch and watch the news, as per our usual winter break activity list. Maybe I'll even shovel the snow on the driveway...or maybe I'll just make hot cocoa, sit back, relax, and watch a few episodes of the Ellen show that my mom unknowingly recorded on the DVR that she accidentally bought last winter... But today isn't just another day. In two days, I'll be headed to one of the most beautiful places in the world, and one of the most exotic. I'm spending next week hiking in the Amazon Rainforest near Quito, Ecuador. Within a week and a half, I will have met my host family and started school at CEDEI. I'm about to have the semester of my lifetime...so come along for the ride. I will be blogging and/or posting photos as I am able to (depending on the wifi situation), and living life in the southern hemisphere. Adios, Kate
