Once again I am coming out of hiding, this time to close out the blog and there is a lot to say. I finished the semester, so I am officially a rising senior! My friends traveled home, and my family came to visit me over the past two weeks. I showed them around the city and revisited the sights that I have seen throughout these five months. To name a few, el Obelisco, la Boca, Tigre, and Puerto Madero. We also ate empanadas with my host mom at the apartment I have called my home.<\/p>\n

The rest of my family welcomed me at the airport after our eleven-hour flight. As shocking as it is to hear so many people speaking English, I feel right at home. Being away for so long has made me appreciate things that I didn’t before. People say that study abroad changes your life, and it is true. This experience has encouraged me to take a major step outside of my comfort zone and I hope that my blog inspires you to do the same. Thank you for reading and an extra thank you to those who have been there for me through it all.<\/p>\n

Yours truly,<\/p>\n

Ashley<\/p>\n
