My bed is currently littered with cosmetics, jewelry, medicine, vitamins and small electronics. I have been going through my copious amounts of all those things and picking out the few I will take with me. Earlier my momma and I went through my wintery clothes and picked what I should bring and shouldn't and what needs to be washed before its packed. We also identified what I still need: A few solid round neck t-shirts, a camera charger, decongestant, chap stick, and cotton balls.
But a few things I did get today were an adaptor, a converter and the locks for my bags that the security guys at the airport won't cut off(Ace Hardware. Thx GP!). I also applied for a credit card through my bank so if I have to make a transaction in Mendoza at a bit of a sketchy coffee shop or trinket store and my account info gets stolen, it will only be on my credit card and not tied back to my actual account and my real money. Hopefully it gets here in time for me to take it with me. :D
Now I'm just trying to see everyone before I leave and not think about everything I have to do once I get back :P

Loans, Luggage, and Liability.
Loans
Yippeeee! My loan has been approved and sent through all the legal channels. I officially accepted it this week and I am financially set for my travels. I was allowed more funds then the tuition actually costs, so I can use the extra money for my argentina cell phone costs, books, and whatever else I need to purchase while there.
Luggage
My momma and I went shopping yesterday for lots of things I would need for the trip, so I got a big suitcase, some tights, and gifts for my teachers and host family. I also got some new gladiators and a bag that is going to function as my carry on for the plane, my backpack for class, and my overnight bag for weekend trips through the Baylor program. I LOVE MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY! Its all coming together and I'm getting really excited, well excited and scared. (Can you name the song I just partially quoted??)
Liability
I had a minor melt down this week when I didn't have a list of exactly what papers I needed to make a copy of to leave here with my parents, and I almost wrote my program director a frantic email. But I pulled it together and just started gathering all my important papers and I kinda figured it out on my own. I copied my passport, my student abroad insurance card, my credit card, the list of emergency numbers in Argentina, my itinerary, and the brochure that came with my travel insurance so my parents would have all that whatnot.
