South America-bound.

Hola!

I will soon be flying to Medellin, Colombia for a money job (no, not in the cocaine business. In the fashion business!) This will consequently enable me to pay for airfare this summer if I decide to go abroad. Bliss...

My mother had just finished lecturing me over vacation about how she could not foot the bill on my preconceived travel plans. I came back to the city with every intention of getting a job where I could save up enough money to travel. However, lacking work experience and jobs being so scarce anyway, I had been failing miserably. And then God sent a miracle.

I booked a random job shooting in Colombia in which I will work for two days (missing a couple days of school) and be paid enough money for my airfare! A rare occurrence, I must say. I would even go so far as to say it was...an omen!

And now, I'm sitting here in my room, across from my sleeping friend and thinking about how anxious I get when I think about traveling alone. Part of me loves being independent and self-driven. The other part of me is scared shit-less that I'll miss my flight, or mistake which terminal I should go to. I couldn't suffer the embarrassment of either situation.

My flight is at 6 a.m., which means I must leave here at 3 a.m. Being the lively, energetic young person I am, I will be staying up all night until I depart at 3. This might be hard.

Hasta la vista, babehhh!
