Well, the time has come. I am one week away from the craziest adventure of my life and I have so many emotions! I am excited/anxious/terrified/insanely happy/stressed and so many more. I don't think it will seem real to me until i get there. I am going to Spain for FOUR MONTHS! I haven't been able to sleep much lately because of all the things rushing through my head. What to pack, what I still need to buy, how much money I will need, how I will magically make money appear... I started packing yesterday and I have to keep reminding myself that I cannot be a princess and bring everything in my wardrobe and every pair of shoes that I own. However, I will by no means be "roughing it". I have somehow (with tons of help from my mom) packed all of one of my suitcases and it looks like, after all of my narrowing down, all of my stuff will fit! Now keeping the bags under the 50 lb. weight limit is another story! The dream I have had since my grandparents first took me to Europe is finally coming true! This mountain of forms and paperwork will all be worth it in one week! This trip is going to take me completely out of my comfort zone and away from all of the safety of friends, family, and the comforts of home! This week is going to be slightly crazy with trying to see everyone one last time, working, last minute shopping, more packing, talking to the bank, finding an international phone plan, and many many more things! Hopefully I can rest my mind enough to fit a little bit of sleep in there somewhere! Adios!
You're gonna rock Spain. I'm glad to hear you're getting "out there", you'll be stretched and challenged so I'll be prayin for ya. But yet again, you'll have a freaking blast. Get it.
