This summer is going to be epic. This first post is supposed to be in either Spanish or English, so I figured... why not Spanglish? Just kidding, I'll stick to Inglés for now.
I'm really excited for this summer. The five weeks that I spend in Oviedo will be incredible, and I'm hoping to really improve my Spanish speaking skills as well as really familiarize myself with the city. I am looking forward to making new friends within the program as well as Spanish natives. When I travel, I enjoy getting to know the place as the locals know it, and am really looking forward to living with a family who knows the city and will be able to help me get to know it as well. I'm nervous though at the same time. I haven't traveled to a foreign country, let alone on the other side of the world, on my own before. And will have so many questions that normally I would ask my parents, but will have to figure out on my own. And as much as my Spanish has improved, getting used to ONLY speaking Spanish will be a bit difficult. In the last meeting that we had, we were all talking about the schedule that the people of Spain generally have. THey get up, stay up late, and take a nap in the middle of the day. I got incredibly excited when I heard that, because I do that anyways, but not EVERYONE does that.
Wow, I can't believe that I'm really going to Spain! I've wanted to do a study abroad program in Spain for as long as I can remember, and the fact that it's really happening is awesome to me. Just WOW!
¡En veinte dias, seré en un avion, volando a Madrid, España!
