Packing....

is the worst and best thing to happen to me in these past two months. I've been sitting at home, volunteering in the hospital, and doing absolutely nothing. Needless to say, it's weighing on my nerves, and that of my parents. My poor parents, having to put up with all my attitude problems while I sit around bored and frustrated for lack of things to do.

But now, I'm packing. This means a couple of really amazing things are about to happen.

1. My trip to South America is about to begin
2. I'll soon be reunited with my biffle Hannah Bryant (coauthor of said blog)
3. I'll be studying abroad in Chile so so so soon.

That's right Hannah and I are going to Chile. We're going to learn spanish, stay with a wonderful spanish mother, have internships, and fraternize with Latin American me. (That's right I said fraternize... can you say Raoul anyone?) Less than 48hours to go and all of my stuff is sitting on the guest room beds waiting to be unceremoniously shoved into a suitcase. It's going to be summer down there, so hurrah for summer clothes! This is the best part of packing, knowing that soon the anticipation will be over and I'll be on my way to the best study abroad experience ever.

The worst part of packing, cut to the picture below.

I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to remember to bring everything. There will be three seasons while Hannah and I are down there, so that means an inordinate amount of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Just because I'm studying abroad doesn't mean I can't be fashionable right? Not to mention, the other bed holds all the other necessaries, medicine, electronics (adaptors included...), passport, toiletries, and other random things I can't go without. Here's a list of just a few things Hannah and I need down there:

1. t-shirts/tanks
2. jeans
3. shorts
4. sweaters
5. long sleeve shirts
6. belts
7. scarves
8. business clothes for internship
9. no less than 10 pairs of shoes ( 2 heals, 2 boots, 3 sandals, 2 flats, sneakers)
10. sorority t-shirts (Represent!)
11. Dresses
12. Other stuff, that I'm sure I'm not thinking of right now.

And that's just clothes! I have to think about how many bags/purse types I need to bring. What types of makeup I'll need and so on. How is a girl supposed to survive. Logically I know that everything I'll need will be down in Chile. Emotionally (that's right I said emotionally) I just can't bare to leave my wardrobe behind. #firstworldproblems

Soon I'll be packed up and ready to go live la vida loca. The first week we're going to Buenos Aires, Uruguay, and Santiago! Wish me and Hannah luck and follow us here!
