Los sueños y la realidad

I have officially purchased my ticket for Madrid, set to leave January 28. The unfortunate part about buying a round trip ticket is that I have to set my return date, and considering I will be in Europe, I have a feeling I will never want to leave.

The good news is, after the initial shock of clicking "purchase" wore off, (I've never made that large of a purchase before) I started to get really excited. It's official now, for real. I am actually going to live in Spain for almost five months and I can hardly believe it.

The reality setting in inspired me to re-vamp my blog layout. With the help of my friend Elaine (I used hers as a template) I think I got the hang of it.

Looking at my old pictures from my junior year visit to Spain also got me pretty excited. That was the trip that made me want to major in spanish in college. I knew from that 10 day trip that I would come back to Spain someday, and in exactly 38 days that dream will come true.

So, here's to turning my dream into a reality.

Countdown Begins!

The countdown begins for my study abroad trip to Sevilla, Spain! I will be leaving January 28, which means I have a little more than two months to plan my adventures :)

Considering half of my Chi O pledge class studied abroad this past summer, I have a lot of suggestions and input on where I should go, how I should get there, what I should do, etc. The hardest part is it is all so overwhelming. I want to have the best time possible, and I know it will take a lot of planning. BUT I know it will all be beyond worth it so it's very exciting.

Feel free to post comments along the way. I will try my best to update this before my trip and during to keep everyone updated with my experiences!
