For those of you who may not know me too well, its hard to explain what this trip means to me. I have wanted to go to Spain for as long as I can remember...probably since I started studying the language back in middle school. After so many years, I had almost accepted the fact that I would never be able to spend an extended period of time in Spain (more than a week or two, which is usually necessary to gain fluency in a language). To finally be able to realize this goal is overwhelming and life-changing...especially as a "graduate" student. Needless to say, there are only three days or so left before I begin my adventure, and its getting harder and harder to believe something I've wanted for so long is about to happen.
Lets hope it exceeds my expectations!
