Last post from North America!

By this time tomorrow, barring any terrible flight delays or cancellations or alien abductions, I will be safely in Buenos Aires. It's weird... I'm leaving a town with about two feet of snow on the ground and heading to a city where it is (as I write this, thanks weather.com) ...oh. Well, it's 77 degrees and raining. I was hoping for more of a dramatic difference, but hey! It'll be sunny a lot too, right?

I have this weird little welling up of anxiety in my stomach. I'm trying to practice casual conversation in my head. Do I know how to say "My luggage is lost"? (I think so... it might be "Me falta la maleta." But I might be wrong. And I don't know how to say "No, I don't need a ride" to those creepy cab guys, and... I need to relax. That's why I'm going to BA, right? Not to take advantage of the lower drinking age, though that'll be happening, I'm sure. I'm going to come back and be able to actually speak Spanish.

So... this is my last little prediction-type post on here. Next time you check, there'll be posts from BA about my fun times and hilarious misadventures and probably about how hard my Spanish classes are. I'm excited, and I also know better than to try and say that with a cognate. I'm ready.
