Last Day in VT

It finally came.  My last day in Vermont.  I never would have thought 6 + months ago that this day would actually come.  It's become pretty real to me now.  I spent the day deciding what clothes to bring, and then packing and unpacking all my stuff!  I successfully got all of my stuff into 1 large suitcase and 1 smaller suitcase!  That was pretty difficult! I probably over packed, but it's hard to bring what you feel like nothing for a year! I am looking forward to shopping in Chile though!  Something exciting happened today though, my family has an exchange student for a semester while I am gone this year and we met her in the airport today!  She is from Finland and speaks great English!  I wish her the best of luck this year while she is here in the United States.  It was great to meet her though and I know that we will stay in touch during the year! As expected, today was extremely hard for me.  Lots of tears, both happy and sad.  I spent most of the day with my family and some close friends which was nice.  It was as relaxing as it could be and that was all that I wanted.  It's hard to say goodbye to such an amazing place with all my friends and family, but I am ready to start my adventure in Chillan, Chile! Wish me luck!
