For those just tuning in, the purpose of this blog is to
reflect on the Spanish I learn in class while in school over there. However, as
many people know, much of the major learning (especially while studying abroad)
is done outside the classroom. Thus, the blog is about everything. It is a
reflection, a description, etc of all of the learning done before, during, and
after this experience. So, I feel that I should start blogging now. I want to
include all aspects of my trip, all of my learning.
As stated previously, I cannot explain how excited I about
this trip. I have always wanted to study abroad, I love the language, and I
simply cannot wait to say I have been to Europe. Likewise in the immensity of
my excitement, I am equally as nervous. I have never flown by myself before. I
have never traveled alone. However, I am excited to let God lead me along this
trip and feel comfort in the fact that, in my personal spirituality, I am not
alone.
I am beginning to gather things to pack in my various mediums
of luggage. I am at loss of exactly what clothes to pack (typical girl
concerns), although I have been reading many forum type websites from other
students that have studied abroad and their advice. I have concluded that less
is more and I hope to fulfill this "mantra" of mine. I must get some
outlet converters, among other "international" type needs.
While on my trip, I will blog every day that I have class.
Until then, I hope to update this as most as possible.
I hope to have answered some of my questions and concerns with
my next post.
