I'm Leaving in 5 Days!!!

So this is my first entry for the blog that I am keeping for my trip to Spain!! This is basically so everyone can see what I am up to, since I will not be able to talk much on the phone. I am really excited, but also really nervous! I am leaving in only 5 days!! It is going to be so weird not being familiar with my surroundings, the culture, the language, or the people that I am living with. I hope that they can handle me :) I will be leaving on Monday, May 26th and coming home on June 24th. Going to and from Spain, I will be taking 3 separate flights stopping in Amsterdam, Madrid, and finally Alicante, Spain, where I will be living for 4 weeks. There are 12 other Eastern students going on the trip, but we are all living with separate families. I will arrive in Spain next Tuesday and meet my family. On Wednesday, I will take a placement exam that will decide which level Spanish class I will be placed in. I will be in class from 9 - 1 on Monday - Friday. The rest of the time, we are able to do whatever we want! :) My biggest fear is not being able to communicate with my host family and not having my friends around to go out with at night. But I'm sure once I get there, everything will be fine (crossing my fingers!). I am not bringing my computer with me, but I will try to post entries as much as I can. Feel free to leave comments or send me an email at dramaqueen7LL@aol.com I would love to hear from you!! I love you guys! xoxo
