I'm starting to second guess whether or not I'm going to leave. I'm not talking about for school, but ever. This is by no means a joke either. I absolutely love it, every bit of it. I'm starting to make a ton of Chilean friends, and they are all incredible! Life is pretty similar to in the United States, but adding Spanish to the equation makes every activity a bit more interesting and challenging. I've never found a place that leaves me thinking "I can see myself growing old here." Me, talking about settling down?? It's crazy. I've only been here 2 months so I know all of this is very irrational of myself, but I can't help it. Chile just feels right. It has everything I love in life surrounded by a stunning country and rich culture. I face an uphill challenge if I actually want to do this. I have to obtain citizenship, find a place, find a job, and basically start over, but I just see all of that as an incredible journey. I think what will end up happening is I finish my degree in Oklahoma, and jump ship after, possible Chile, possible somewhere else. I think I am one of the few people equipped well enough to live any where in the world, and I probably ought to take advantage of that. It's strange to think that I'm not having any case of home sickness, but only Leaving-Chile sickness. Currently, my return flight is booked for December 20th, but I can't guarantee you that won't face long term delays...
Sidenote: I'm getting a ton of feedback about my blog! I'm shocked people actually read it, but I'm thrilled to share my story with you guys.
