Tally-ho to Argentina!

The Beginning
OKay so first things first since I'm hear in Argentina doing this full emersionspanish thing i have to warn you. My spelling has gone out the window, I don't use thingsin the right order anymore (remember spanish is kinda reversed i.e. instead of saying 'i'm going to Mery's room' I would say here 'I'm going to the room of Mery') and you may get some spanglish happening. I'll do my best to translate myself though.
Okay so here is my story so far:

So Sunday morning the 16th of September I embarked on a 8 month mission-to learn spanish.So that morning was full of tears and I couldn't believe that I actually was doing this. We went to the airportand my parents came in with me and walked with me until the security line. Than I saw it.

Delta is kinda gay and only lets you take ONE carryon and ONE personal item and all the other airlines let you take two. So I had to pawn off my ukulele to some guy so they would let me go through with all my stuff. Good thing he was really nice. Than I walked to my gate. It was so hard not to cry so I just gave up and cried as I walked. I sat down and started scouting out the people waiting for my flight to see if they either were part of ACA or could carryon my Uke.

While waiting and looking I saw a lady who looked like she was crying too. So I got out my tissues and sat next to her, handed her a tissue, and said 'can I cry with you?'she nodded and we cried together for a while. Than I asked her why she was crying and she said that this was her first time leaving her kids and that she was on a business trip for 4 days and it was to long to be away from her kids.I told her that i was leaving for 8 months to study, away from my family, and she stopped crying realizing that I had more of a reason to cry than she did. We just than had a good time chatting until it was time to board.

I met my first ACA student who was actually sitting next to me his name is Zack and he is really nice, from LSU so we talked for a bit. Than I met another girl from Southern, but lives in Loma Linda her name is Erica she is super cool too. So we got on the plane and I sat next to really boring people and just slept until we landed. When we landed that is when the fun began.
There was a pretty big group on the LAX plane so we all went to the next gate, talking and laughing and having fun.I met up with Kenny and Matt my traveling buddies and we had a good time just catching up about the summer and stuff. It was amazing how many people were on this plane it was like 40 ACA students. So it was great.

It was time to board there was no turning back after we entered that door. So I waited for my turn (of course I was the last boarding zone) the plane was extremely packed. I went to give my boarding pass and they told me that it didn't work and that I had to go back to the desk and get it fixed. I was really freaked out because I didn't want anyone to get my spot so I rushed over to the desk and waited for my turn (how murphy's law). After a few scary minutes they fixed my boarding pass and let me board. I sat next to an Argentinean lady who talked really fast with an extra strong accent, but we kinda communicated and I realized how much I didn't know. This was going to be scary, maybe I should have taken a class.

I sat in the plane because it was 2 hours late for departure we finally took off. It was a crazy feeling to know that I wouldn't be back for a real longtime. I sat there for a while watched the movie 'georgia rules' it was lame let me tell you. Then Kenny came and said come sit with us. SO did and met other ACA people (a bunch of them was sitting in the back, I was in the very front) I talked to this girl Corrina who is pretty much awesome because we just clicked she was like 'we are so kindred spirits' and I was like 'I love Anne of Green Gables' and so now we are great friends or bosom friends.

We annoyed the lady sitting in front of us so she and I switched places and the rest of the plane ride was smooth sailing until the very end and we had really bad turbulance and I thought I was going to die or throw up. Neither happened I was really close to blowing chunks though let me tell you.We got our passports checked and waited for our luggage

After what seemed like an eternity we finally got our luggage and watied for the school to pick us up. We waited for a while they, picked us up, took us to the Adventist Restaurant in Buenos Aires which was interesting. we ate and than loaded the bus for our 6 hour driveto San Martin, Entre Rios. I fell asleep instantly becuase of the lack of sleep on the plane and woke up about 6 hours later to only find out htat we hit really bad traffic and had to turn back get some food and than embark on another 6 hour trip. We finally arrived at the school at 2 I met my roomate insert picture or Anto and I and fell asleep.

One of the longest trips of my life and that isn't the end of it. Keep on reading for more traveling fun.
