Ticket in Hand, Count Down for Real

It has been one year since I started this blog. In that year, I did not make it to Argentina. I did, however, meet some amazing people that encouraged me as I continued to push towards my dream. As of about 2 hours ago, I finally purchased my ticket. I am leaving on September 11th, 2012 and I will be gone until May of 2013. It has been a year of frustration, blood, sweat, and tears as I worked and worked to raise the money for this trip. I will be spending nine months in Argentina studying Spanish at the Universidad del Plata. There won't be too many updates between now and when I leave, but I will be posting regularly while I'm gone, including pictures. I'll also post a link to my Photobucket so any pictures that don't get posted here will be available to you. Thank you for your praise as I step out on this journey. It has been a struggle to get where I am. I'm going a year after I planned, technically my senior year at college. I won't be graduating on time, but I don't care. I'm going! I'm finally going to Argentina!!! Praise God! 19 weeks and 3 days till departure!
