The Adventure is Already Beginning

Although there is no traveling yet I still feel the rush of adrenaline as I begin really planning for my study abroad trip. I had a pre-departure meeting earlier this week and received an overload of information that I am still trying to take in! I will begin my classes September 20th and will be done with classes on June 9th. I have started looking into where exactly in Spain I will be studying and what is around it and thinking of places I want to go. I have so many questions to be answered and it seems that every time I get one answer a million more questions come up. I am very excited for my adventure and travels, but I am also scared. I will be gone for about 9 months. I know it seems like a long time now, but we all know that time flies, especially when you are surrounded by so many cultures, countries, and opportunities. That means 9 months away from all the familiar places and faces, all the comforts of home, and all the things I know. I will just have to keep myself busy with traveling to keep my mind off of home!
I figured I would start my blog now, as I begin planning my adventure, because in reality this is where the adventure begins. I will be writing funny phrases that I hear over there (translations included), pictures of all the beautiful places I visit, and stories about my travels. My first translation will be of my tittle. Mis aventuras España means my travels of Spain. I felt it was appropriate as I will be going to learn the language, the traveling is just a very good addition. Although I may not update a lot before my trip I will post all the big developments and once I arrive I will update as often as I find time to. For now I will be off to do more research and planning.
Te quiero! (I love you)
