Hola todos. I'm writing to you from my couch in New Hope as I wait to hear about my potential trip to Chile. As you all know, Chile has been devastated by a horrific terremoto. I've received word that my original flight in to Santiago has been indefinitely postponed. I received a call this morning from my study abroad office regarding my travel plans (I'm flying independently, not with the group flight), and I am being told that more information will be coming my way this afternoon, hopefully with good news. I've also received an email from the State Embassy in Chile, advising all non-essential U.S travelers to avoid spending any time in Chile, so this news is a bit concerting. I have a friend who is in Chile currently, attempting to study in Santiago. He says everything is a bit surreal, but that he and his parents are doing fine, which is a great relief.
Other than that, I am stuck in limbo, awaiting any sort of news about my potential travel plans. I have heard whisperings that all study abroad programs for this semester will be canceled as a whole, I just hope that they remain rumors. Missing out on the chance of a lifetime and an entire semester of school is not on my to-do list. Well, that's all for now. Keep checking back for potential updates. Ciao.
