SPAIN!
I'm going to Spain next semester! I mean, I don't have anything officially saying I'm in enrolled in classes or anything like that, but...
I have turned in my application. And am now waiting to hear about all the other details. I'm already obsessively checking flights. I read every single post from one of the girls that went last semester on her blog. I check the school's website almost every day, even though nothing ever changes. (spainstudyabroad.info - for specific info about the program with bc) (clic.es - the school's main website) I've also already started thinking about what I'm going to pack and what things I might want to buy before I go, clothes and shoes that is. I created this blog. And I will change the picture to something in Spain once I'm there. I've been really excited and really nervous and spent plenty of time thinking that this is crazy and that I'm crazy. But there's no going back now.
Trust me there's a part of me that knows that going to Florence would have been a lot less stressful and worrisome. It would be a lot of fun. And I'd get to travel more. And the classes would be easy and fun. But I honestly don't regret my decision.
I know that Spain is where I'm supposed to go. I'll be closer to that person I want to be for going. I think I would come back from Florence more or less the same. But I know that things will change in Spain. I'm going to have to be independent and confident and outgoing. There will definitely be challenges and I'm going to have to see them as opportunities to grow instead of obstacles that keep me from moving forward. I think I'll learn a lot about myself and what I'm capable of. And I can't wait.
So there you have it, my first official post on my study abroad blog. And I promise there will be many, many more to come.
