Yes, I got my horizontal license. I am no longer a child. It was really weird to see my picture on there without any red above it. Haha! This has been an extremely busy week. I had my last final on Wednesday night, stayed up until 4am working on a 5 page paper for my Spanish class (that of course had to be written in Spanish), got my vaccinations on Thursday morning, and then moved out Thursday afternoon/evening. I ended up not going to Chicago for the weekend because my parents' had personnel issues to tend to; however, it has been great to just relax and take my time unpacking and repacking. There is no way that I could have done everything on Thursday. I bought a new camera yesterday and it is very cool. It takes AMAZING pictures and I can put panoramas up, so I will definitely be posting those, especially when I go to see El Cristo Rey statue.
I also received some relieving news via email the other day. My program director emailed everyone our housing assignment and as it turns out, I will be living with another American student in my host family's home. I actually know him already, he goes to OSU, so that was definitely a huge blessing.
Because of the Chicago ordeal, I had to book a flight to Chicago last minute. I was checking prices and it was going to cost me around $350, but Tarangi told me to check Southwest. Luckily, I was able to purchase a ticket through Southwest for less than half of the other fare. I called Seth to just talk and told him about my flight. We were talking and he said "Southwest doesn't fly into O'hare. You'll be flying into Midway." I checked my ticket, and sure enough I am flying into Midway. Fortunately, because Seth is an amazing friend, he made a call to a friend there and I have a ride from Midway to O'hare. I not afraid of the subway or the "L", but lugging around a carry-on and two pieces of luggage would be a total pain.
Well, I am leaving tomorrow morning from Columbus at 8:30a, arriving in Chicago at 8:35a, leaving chicago at 2:30p, and arriving in Bajío/León at 7:30p. It will be a long day, but it should be exciting. I will hopefully be posting on here again on either Monday or Tuesday, until then though, ¡cuidate y estamos en contacto!

Congrats on getting your new license. I forgot that you and Seth are going to be 21 this year. Speaking of Seth, that was sweet of him to help you out. :)
Just thought I'd stop by since you gave me the link.
Stay safe!

Aren't you proud of me for leaving a message? I'm anxiously awaiting pictures of your new family! GOOD LUCK
Just remember when you get home we will not "press 2 for spanish" to talk to you.
Sounds like God has answered our prayers and is taking good care of you. Will continue to pray that things go great for you this simmer.
