First of all, I want to apologize for neglecting my blog the past 1.5 months. They were crazy, hectic, and incredibly fun - I finished up my classes (including some adventures with oral finals), spent a week in Uruguay on the beach with 8 friends, toured my parents around the city for a week, and spent 5 days in the national park Torres del Paine in Chile (Patagonia).
I figured that I needed to close out the blog on my last afternoon here in Buenos Aires, not just for you guys, but also as something to look back on when I get back to the states and further on down the road. I am about to head out for the airport, and tomorrow afternoon I will be in baggage claim at SFO (if nothing goes wrong, knock on wood). And even though my flight's only 4 hours away, it hasn't quite sunk in yet that I'll be leaving my house here, my family, my friends, and the entire routine that I've created in this city.
Recently, my friends here have been reflecting a lot on our time here, how we've changed, and what a roller coaster ride its been. And yet every time I try to put the experience into words it just sounds cliché and incomplete, so I'll leave just one last, short note, appropriately in Spanish:
Buenos Aires, me has presentado desafíos enormes estos últimos cinco meses, pero en conquestarlos he aprendido mucho sobre mi mismo y he tenido experiencias lindas, divertidas e inolvidables. La gente y los lugares que conocí acá van a tener un lugar especial en mi corazón por lo largo de mi vida. Buenos Aires, seguro que nos vemos pronto.
