In less than an hour a van will be arriving to whisk me away to the airport. It's Argentina time, once again, and although it's still feels surreal, I'm excited!

I had planned a lot of things to write about, but right now they're eluding me. I will say however that one of my summer goals (aka over the course of this trip) is to push myself to be more creative...to create things and not just think about them.

Recently I've taken some steps:

1) I finally made my first wearable dress, using some fabric that I purchased a year ago (procrastinate much?)

2) I improvised a cake from scratch -- blueberry, lemon, rhubarb -- which was a little dry, and kind of ugly, but I was proud.

Small steps, but steps none the less!

Grax y chau,

Sam

Che Boludos,

My name is Samantha Meiler, and I'm writing to you on behalf of myself, in regards to the fact that I feel much too lame and uncool in our modern, perpetually plugged-in society (I know, I know as if that makes me original). I have, after being urged by my friend/life coach Marta Ryczko, attempted to create for myself a "web presence". Sadly however, I am no good at this. I have a Facebook account (yup) but regard updating my status as awkwardly egotistical, and I'm as equally, if not more so, intimidated/mystified by Twitter. Yet, I know that this is important, especially in my line of work (aka aspiring freelancer!)

So, here I am.

I'm tempted at this point to reveal other embarrassing, humanizing facts about myself, but that's probably not the best idea, so I'll leave it here.

Web presence away!

Grax,
Sam
