Entry 1

This adventure is going to begin Saturday, May 22, 2010. I am not too excited about the plane ride over but I am very excited to finally visit Spain...even if it is under the stress of being graded! I believe that I understand Spanish pretty well but speaking it is a different story. I am hoping that my professors in Spanish will understand especially since perhaps I should know Spanish considering my background.
I do have this sense of adventure and curiosity that is constantly urging me to go and travel so I think I am ready as I will ever be. The food, culture, customs, smells, sounds of Spain are going to be different and I will be honest and say that I do have some anxieties about wanting to keep some of my daily routines. But this is not my first time traveling outside the U.S. although it is the first time studying abroad and going to Europe.
Well, I am going and that is that and it is going to be a second home to me and I am excited to be with Maria, my hostess…I hope I do not offend her! I heard they eat a lot of fish and I am not so good with that!
