February 6th seemed so far away back in September when I was selected to participate in this exchange. Well the big day has (almost!) finally come... The day I leave for Eastern Oregon to be assigned a country. Unfortunately, I won't be able to ski and snowboard with the rest of the inbounds/outbound candidates due to a recently broken arm (ironically, caused by a snowboard accident), but I will be snowshoeing instead. I will leave Portland tomorrow morning at 7 am and I will return home on Sunday knowing which country I will be living in next year. I'm beyond excited. Every time someone finds out that I'm going to an exchange student, their first question is "where are you going?" Well, after this weekend I will be able to answer. At this point I'm really leaning towards Chile. I've been talking a lot to Gabi, the current outbound in Chile. She has made me fall in love with the country. South America definitely seems like the place for me.
Well it's getting late and I have an EARLY start tomorrow (5 am), so I will finish off this entry. I will be sure to write again on Sunday or Monday and explain the trip in detail.
