Hello all. I've decided, in anticipation of not having that much internet access down in Argentina, that instead of trying to keep in touch with everyone individually (sorry folks) I would write a blog whenever I can and let any interested in knowing what I am up to. For example, I am now listening to my brother telling me that I may become a drug dealer (seems to be from the Schmooze magazine).
Anyway, I should take a step back. If you are reading this, you may know that I am going to Argentina, first to Buenos Aires, for the next 4 months. I have a year off between college and medical school (this is, by the way, the reason behind the name of my blog; liminal is anything to do with the finishing of one process, right before the beginning of the next. In my case, my limin is a year long), and I want to see, do, and have as many new experiences as I can. I also want to learn Spanish, which is why I am going to Argentina.
I'm leaving in less than two weeks (why am I going again) and, as yet, I don't really have any plans. I've got a couple of contacts down there, but I don't speak the language, have a place to stay, take classes, have arbah minim, haven't gotten vaccinations yet (I need to get vaccinated for yellow fever, what fun!), or have really any idea of what I am doing. Psyche! All I know is that other people have done it and have survived, which only takes a little away from the fun of it.
I'll post next when I get more news.
Ciao! (That's what they say in Argentina for goodbye)
