Epic Journey #2, Going out with a bang

So I was planning on working my way through Argentina, slow and relaxed, and maybe spending some time on a beach in Uruguay in December, before my family gets in, but then Jean proposed we do a 4-capital sprint, from Santiago to Asunción (Paraguay) to Iguazu Falls (intersection of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay), to Punta del Este (beach in Uruguay), to Montevideo, to Buenos Aires. So, it took me about 2.5 seconds to take him up on that, and we got one of our other friends interested (Angel, from Malaga in southern Spain) and bought bus tickets today.

Two weeks left...

Well, I've got 2 weeks left until I finish classes, another week until I'm done with exams, and on the first of January I'm on my way home. The day after I start my internship at Deloitte, and I'm sure the change from 8 AM 1/1 (Finishing the most incredible semester of my life) to 8 AM 1/2 (starting training at Deloitte) will be a decent bit of a shock. So, I'm starting to brace myself for the reverse culture-shock. I think my classes are going to end decently well, with passing grades, at least.

I think I've gotten accustomed to the point to where if I found out that there were some reason prohibiting me from ever going back to the US, that I had to finish my studies and start working in Chile, that I'd be pretty comfortable doing it. Given, I'm not planning on it , but without so much waiting for me in the US, I would've canceled my flight a month or two ago.

Anyways, it's been great, to everyone in highschool or college that reads this- study abroad. I think it's been the best (or one of, without a doubt) decision I've made in my lifetime.
