1 month away. Chile's almost over..

Hmmm, i've never really blogged before. But yea, I'll give it a shot. I have soooo much stuff to tell everyone about, seeing as how my 4 months in Chile so far have been ridiculously amazing. I'm not really ready to leave in June, but I also can't wait to get home and start my bike trip. Its gonna be sweet.

First off, I just want to thank everyone that contributed to my biking trip. Its for a great cause, and your support truly means a lot to me. I can't wait!

Alright, so let me just tell everyone a bit about South America. Its the coolest place ever. Really. I've been in Santiago Chile since January and I've just been trying to balance school and traveling as much as I can. Luckily, schools not too bad down here so I've usually just been putting off all my work for a couple miserable weekends each quarter. Haha, yea, this is one of those weekends, so naturally I procrastinated by making a blog. Since I've been here, I've traveled a ton of places, most notably, Buenos Aires (2x), Argentina, and Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia. I just bought tickets to go to the Atacama desert and I'll be heading up to Machu Picchu just before I head home. I'm really really excited, but also really nervous about getting home and getting started. I'm a bit upset because I won't have any time at home, either before or after my trip, but I've been having such an incredible time traveling and experiencing new things that I guess its ok. Well, I'll try and update this blog as much as possible, and once I figure out how to do photos I'll be putting up my favorites.
