11 Days

I can not believe that I leave for Spain in 11 days!

It is so nuts to think that all my friends are getting ready to go back to MSU or the other colleges and that I am not going back. It is going to be so weird not moving back into my dorm room with everyone else. I feel bad that I am not going to be there to see everyone else.

I got luggage for Christmas. I haven't started packing at all yet though. I can take two suit cases. I don't know how I am going to be able to fit all of my stuff in them or what I am going to take/leave at home. I also need to make sure I leave enough room to bring stuff back since I am sure that I will be shopping a lot there and bringing back gifts.

I am really nervous about going but always super excited. I know that it'll be a great experience and that I won't ever regret it but it is still nerveracking. I have never had to rely on my Spanish as much as I know I'll have to in Spain. My host family does speak English but I shouldn't use my English to communicate with them unless I really don't understand something. It is going to be really hard for me to break out of the speaking English shell but I know that I can do it.

Anyway, I'll write more sometime before I leave after I've packed my stuff.
