I´m going to Chile, and it´s finally official. Today I give notice at work that I only have three more weeks left in this place. I also received some final confirmation on my internship in Santiago today. It sounds like a pretty interesting gig. The hope is that I´ll do well, learn lots, and be in the running for a permanent position in the company. That is if we all get along and it seems like a good fit for me. It´s time to re-examine things in my life. If it´s not going to be a great situation, I´ll find something else. All I can do is try it out. Either way, it´ll be a great learning experience.
I have about four more weeks in the states: two weeks until Christmas, holiday week, drive to Texas and hang out for a week, then fly to Chile via Mexico City from Dallas. This should be interesting. Making an international move can be a overwhelming chore. I still have to get rid of lots of things, figure what I´m going to pack for the Chilean summer, and fit the rest of my life in my little Honda Element.
There´s a lot to figure out. In the meanwhile, I might as well make a blog of it. I decided to write about my experiences in the city of Santiago in the Latin culture of Chile from a prospective of a twenty-something trying to make it in the world. My last seven years have been spent in a Wyoming university while working (at times two jobs) fulltime+ to support myself. For future reference, my take on future experiences comes from a place that most people will be unfamiliar. I am used to what most would consider a small city and have lived in the least populated state in the US for most of my life. Alrighty, here goes. Let´s see what happens as a Wyoming country boy tries to clean up and jump into life into the big city of Santiago. Just for fun, here's a pic of my car in the snow. There will be no more of that down south for awhile. Stay tuned.
