Hello and welcome to my new blog that I'll be using over the course of my time abroad to document my time there, including my travels and school and all the people I meet. This is going to be how I update everyone on my time while in Spain so I am not sending out mass e-mails. This way, you can read it at your leisure (or, for some of you, whenever you're avoiding doing schoolwork).
In any case, I'm going to be in Spain in a little less than a month and I'm kind of starting to freak out (as you can tell by me making this journal now instead of right before I leave). I mean, I'm so super excited about going to Spain and getting to experience their culture and meeting all the people I'm going to be in the program with and, of course, the classes that I'm going to be taking. However, these things are also the things that I'm very nervous about. I think I have everything that I need as far as clothing and all that is concerned (I still have to get my toiletries but that I can do the week before I go). I also have a plan for being done with volunteering and hostessing and interning so that I have time to spend with people before they all go back to school and so that I can pack and get ready and really just mentally prepare myself to go. I am a little worried about the whole toiletries on the plane thing, with the 3 oz. shampoo/conditioner/whatever containers all having to be in a gallon ziploc bag - I think this is an international thing and if I want to travel for a week, I'm definitely going to need more than 3 ounces of shampoo, but I'm not sure how it's going to work if I'm not checking my luggage. So I guess we'll just see when we get there, and I'm sure this is stuff I really don't need to be worrying about right now; I'm just being odd.
