Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars.

I so love my job at the rec center more than McD...I don't know if it's because trying to fix pinsetters is more in my interest than flipping burgers, or if it's the fact this job is way easier to deal with that McD. It's a combo of both.  But, alas, this is my last night in Milwaukee for 5 months.. Until Dec 16th to be precise....

I'm getting nervous about going. Don't get me wrong, I am really excited about traveling and studying in Chile, and am really fortunate to have this opportunity. I guess you could say I have a couple of things on my mind that are probably everyone thinks about before they make a big trip like this. (At least I hope so, if not then I'm just a weird person). Mostly I'm just afraid that I won't be able to make friends easily down there. When I first meet people, I can kinda be quiet and shy, and have that vibe I'm a stuck up b*itch... But people who do know me that is completely not true.. unless I'm really mad at you? but I have to be like super mad....

But anyway.. It's taken me a long time to build the relationships with people that I have, so I just hope I'm able to push this aside and be more  outgoing down in Santiago.. I think it's a good thing that April is down there, and that I am living like right next door to another girl from UWM too. We can work through and figure things out. Or at least I hope we can do that. 

I guess once I get down there and actually living and get through my culture shock I'll be fine.. I think that's where most of my nerves are coming from not knowing what it is going to be like... 

Besides this.. on my way to Milwaukee today right by the airport I got stuck in traffic because of a pretty bad car accident (It blocked 2 of the 3 lanes). Just as I passed that a little bit down the road from the entrance of the airport I hear a squeal of tires on pavement and a loud thunk.. I turned my head just to see another car in the oncoming traffic hit another car and possibly a light pole.. I hope everyone is ok, it's just that with all of these accidents on the road I hope I don't get into one *knocks on wood* before Monday... Please people who are driving in southeastern WI be careful and don't hit me! 

Anywho I think that's all I have right now.. Only 4 and a half hours left til im free! see ya
