Hello! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Emma,  but my friends call me Obnoxious. I am a Senior majoring in Undecided and am studying abroad in Santiago, Chile for the Fall 2015 semester.

Ok, time to be serious. I booked my flight to Santiago last night with the help of my wonderful mother. I know I’m running a little behind seeing that most other people who are studying abroad in the Fall booked their flights months ago. If I worked the beauty pageant scene, I would win the “Miss Procrastination” crown on the reg. But this time, my poor planning habits worked to my advantage. I was still able to get a decently cheap flight thanks to the wonderful people at Cheapoair.com. I’m from the Greater Philadelphia Area, but I’m flying out of Baltimore because it is cheaper. Here’s the kicker: My first connection is to Philadelphia. Good thing I don’t mind plane rides. Anywho, there’s only one last thing on my “To do” list before I embark on my adventures to the Southern Hemisphere (aka where toilets flush clockwise instead of counterclockwise). I have to get a visa. I know, I know. That’s kinda of really, oober important. Well, I was waiting to receive paperwork proving that I am actually enrolled at a university in Chile. Thank goodness, the paperwork is on it’s way now, and hopefully my visa will be processed in time. Wish me luck!

Adios for now! And I’ll get back to you on whether that toilet flushing thing is myth or fact.
