I know you are all relishing my access to free internet use and the fact that I have free time. Apparently that will soon change and Astin and I will begin studying for our first exam which is on Tuesday. I push aside my nervousness for that. In the meantime, I can post wild blogs, knowing that basically the whole world is hanging on my every word. (Sarcasm.) The following is an instruction manual for one or more people, follow closely.
How to Have an Exciting Day
1) Set your alarm for 8, plan to leave at 9. Wake up at 9, realizing uneasily that it's never been light at 8 on the other mornings.
2) Get ready in mere minutes, shoving a croissant in your face as you hustle across town. One of you should also stick approximately half of the glazed side to the front of your jacket. This is really attractive.
3) This is already pretty exciting, so it's okay if you only walk past your street for a couple blocks and then find it on the map.
4) Go to orientation, eat an awesome free breakfast, and then have the guide from the school help you buy a cell phone. This should be done through the Movistar company because your life is already so exciting...you should basically be considered a movie star anyway.
5) Limp back to your hostel wondering why that one bone in your foot hurts so much. Then rapidly forget about the bone and everything except for the fact that the door to your room is wide open and so are your empty storage lockers. One of you should exclaim in words you wouldn't share with your mother and sprint downstairs to frantically quiz the receptionist.
6) For beginners, this level of excitement will suffice. Thus, you can just find that your luggage, iPod, computer, etc. are safely stowed behind the desk. They only took it out since you'll have to move to a different room for a night and they need the one you were in.
7) Plan to spend the rest of the day looking for apartments, crossing your fingers, knowing that if you don't find one, you'll spend the next week bouncing between the three hostels you booked last night.
The End.

Holy crap. I had a similar experience of panic when the car where all of my belongings were in was mysteriously not there anymore. Fortunately, the car had been towed and not stolen. I am glad that neither of us actually experienced stolen luggage. Yeah for the first few adventures.
Holy crap is right Cassie!! but im glad to know that through it all you haven't lost your sense of humor :)
