the 1st of many to come

---

So...in 2 weeks...from tomorrow...i leave for spain...its soo surreal that its almost here! ive been waiting for 4 years to go...ever since i read a book in spanish class junior year, i have had my heart set on going to spain. its a good thing SMU offers a program there!

on wednesday, january 30 at 4:50 i will begin life in a new city, a new country, a new continent. am i scared as many people ask? not yet...however the packing hasnt started and i really havent realized im about to leave...other than leaving all my friends behind at school. im more excited than anything, but i figure once i step foot in spain, and they dont speak english, things will ALL change! but its okay because im ready to learn.

2 friends of mine from school are coming, as is a 3rd girl i know. we are all going over together and will probably spend most of our time together so we arent all alone. shortly, i should find out where i live, and whether or not i have a roommate. when i find out all the specific information, i will write it out ((ie: where to send mail- bc i would LOVE to get some 😊, how to contact me, and the like)).

its freezing in illinois and minnesota and i CANNOT wait to have some heat, sun, and PALM TREES (PT!-megan haha) im counting down the days because boredom has set in HARDCORE! however, when the time does come ill miss everyone a lot. but...its time to live out my dream.

SEVILLA 2008...here i come!
