Oviedo here I come!

Thursday, May 13, 2010

I am very excited to leave for Spain next week! My mom works for Continental Airlines, so I've had the opportunity to travel all around the world but I've never lived in another country. I'm nervous to meet my family because I've only had two semesters of Spanish. I'm confident that with practice and if I go without hesitations or inhibitions regarding the language, I'll learn a lot more than I anticipate. I hope that my host family has little kids. I love kids! They won't judge my poor Spanish grammar. =) I can't wait to have a routine down so I can really start to feel like I live in Spain. I don't have a lot of apprehension, because I know no matter what happens, I'll love it. Aside from strengthening my Spanish, I want to get to know myself better as I experience life abroad. I'm confident that I'm going to make a fool out of myself as I learn the language and culture, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Get ready Oviedo, because here I come!
