Pre-departure blog!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. I'll actually be keeping another one for Loyola, which will probably be about the same as this one.  Once I actually create it I'll link it.  And I think I might make some sort of photo account (Flickr, maybe? Tumblr?) because I'll be posting LOADS.

I leave for Madrid in 2 days.  I think I'm just about ready to leave... I at least know what clothes I'm taking and I think it's just enough, but not too much!  Most importantly, I think everything is going to fit in my suitcase.  I'll be relieved once I actually get there.  Preparing to go is stressing me out a bit, as I've spent the past few weeks running around buying things I'll need and spending time with friends and family, as well as worrying what Spain will be like, how the family I'm staying with will receive me, and if my Spanish is up to par.  But I know it's useless to worry about this since I'll only just find out when I get there, and I know it'll be fine.  I would like to know a bit more about my roommate though! She's not on Facebook so I know literally nothing about her other than that her name is Rachel.

Well, I fly out Sunday and probably won't have a chance to post again until afterwards.  So, the next time you hear from me, I'll be in Madrid!

Now, to figure out why this South Park episode keeps pausing...
