first post?

Okay. So, I've never had a blog before and this is all very new to me. I'm sure it will take me a while to figure everything out (kind of like when you first get a facebook and you have no clue what you're doing...that's pretty much how I feel).

Aside from that, I finally realized today that in a week I will be leaving for Spain. I haven't gotten nervous yet, but I'm sure once I'm in the airport, by myself, waiting to board the plane, the nerves will hit me. Other than that, I'm really excited! I've always wanted to study abroad in Spain and I'm hoping this will turn out to be a great experience. I'm most looking forward to living with a host family. When I was in third grade, we had an exchange student from Spain and I always thought it would be really cool to live with another family in another country for a while. The only thing I'm worried about is saying something wrong in Spanish and embarassing myself infront of my family. However, that is part of the reason I chose to study abroad...so that I could improve my communication skills. Anyways, I'll be posting again soon before I leave!
