After a LONG flight and severe turbulence, I am happy to say I have arrived safely in Santiago.
Now the bad news: I somehow managed to leave CA without my camera. I think it’s in my apartment, because when I was finishing packing at my dad’s house I couldn’t find it for anything. I have a camera on my phone from the US, so I might try that.
Nothing much to report so far. I’m severely sleep deprived due to the aforementioned turbulence. As in, so violent that it woke me up and my knee jerk reaction was to cry out, “Father God, please save us!” because I thought the plane was going down. I know turbulence rarely leads to plane crashes, but that didn’t make the experience any less unpleasant.
I’m the first of my classmates here. Someone is arriving tomorrow, but J and P, my hosts, said that they don’t remember who. I guess we’ll see.
