So. As of today it is OFFICIALLY two weeks until the day I leave for Spain!! I have packed a little but let's be honest, I work best under pressure so I'll probably pack most of my stuff up the night before I have to leave. I'm really working on my procrastination issue though. I have my travel folder packed and as far as finals are concerned they can beat it and I'll just scoot off to Spain.
I have been in contact with my host family and they seem REALLY excited to have me stay there over the next 10 weeks. They have a little dog (which I'm pretty jazzed about seeing as I haven't seen my puppies for over 3 months)and they speak absolutely no English. I'm living with a 50 year old woman named Inma and her mother. I'll be right down town in the commercial district close to bars and the marina. I'm 300 stairs and a 20 minute walk up a hill to class every day and about 30 minutes walking from the beach.
Lately I have been a tad scared about my ability to communicate, but I'm sure once I get there I'll find a groove and pick up the language relatively quick.
Ky! I am so excited about this blog!! Yeah I definitely procrastinated packing until the night before but I only took one big suitcase and a carry on... haha i should have brought more for 3 1/2 months, oops. BUT dont even worry about the language thing because my mom and sister dont speak any english in fact they speak catalan and it all works out with hand motions and describing things. GET EXCITED! First stop in Spain: Barcelona baby! Love youuuuuuuuu
