The next time I post a new message, I'll be in Spain! I have tomorrow to finish packing, and I leave early the next morning.
It still doesn't feel like I am actually leaving. Even though I am mostly packed, I don't think it will hit me until I'm loaded up on the airplane, destined for a foreign land full on new experiences.
I've been brushing up on my Spanish by translating signs and words as I see them. I've also been looking through my guidebook to figure out places to visit and learn more about the culture and history.
I am definitely excited for what lays ahead. I am confident my semester abroad will be a fantastic learning experience that expands my horizons, stretches my imagination, and leads me to new, exciting things. I was a little nervous, but after talking to some friends last week who have already been to Spain, I am really excited.
