2. Things Aren’t So Bad Here After All.
Yes, I did (and still do) have a pretty bad case of reverse culture shock. But I’m getting over it. Really, I am.
Stuck in Reverse?

I’m back in the USA and have been for a little over a month. Does that mean I’ve readjusted to life here? Yes, but not completely.

The time has come to say goodbye to the great nation that has hosted me for the past semester. I can honestly say that because of my experiences in (and around) Chile I will be returning to the U.S. a slightly different person. And I think that slightly different person is an improvement upon the former Anjie who existed before.
The Saddest Part is Seeing the End Coming

It is impossible to believe: I have already been in Chile for a little over 13 weeks. I had a website do some math for me (seeing as my own math skills are hardly up to par with such a task), and my time here so far is equal to 96 days, or three months and four days, or 2,304 hours, or 138,240 minutes.

Possibly the best thing about studying abroad in the southern hemisphere in the fall is getting a Spring Break in September of all things. I say this because a week off from classes is exactly what allowed me to have the time of my life traveling through two different South American countries.

I hope you North-Hemispherians are enjoying your summer. I’d give anything for a true “beach day” right about now.

Consider this your fair warning: If I intend to do the past week any justice, then this blog entry is going to have to be epically long. I suggest that you make yourself an iced tea and get comfortable.
Studying Abroad in Chile by Anjie D

My name is Anjelais (Anjie for short) and I am leaving San Francisco, CA for Chile in five days. I could not feel more simultaneously prepared and unprepared for this journey.
Blogging From Barnard: Connections
This post is part of an ongoing series of blog entries by Anjie D (FG3), a freshman at Barnard College writing about her college experiences on the blog Uptown Girl. Here's an excerpt of her latest musings.
The past couple of weeks have been all about connections: making them, finding them, missing them.
A couple staff members at First Graduate have a mission for me; from here on out I will call it Mission Networking Skills. They want me to get writing (more professionally than this blog), and they want me to make connections in the writing world.
