Pre-Departure

So i have recently returned from Spain. I was there for a month and had a great time. However, now that I have returned I need to focus on when I will be leaving for Chile. Umm I am not sure when I leave yet...it is August 2nd and I don't know. With in a few days though, I will be going to the Chilean Consulate in New York City where I will be able to pick up a visa and then I know my exact departure date. I am extremely excited for this trip and for me I do not think this will be as hard for me as it will be other exchange students because all of my friends are also leaving for college so I won't feel like I will be missing anything at home.
