one month!

hey all!

i figure that i might as well get in the habit of this whole blog thing, since i'm sure everyone will be dying to know about my life in spain once january rolls around ;)

kidding!

but in all reality, it's coming up sooner than i expected that it would. it's actually time to start preparing, which is crazy! i'm definitely ready for classes at luther to wrap up, but i'm not sure how ready i really am to leave the country. i haven't quite thought about the logistics of packing for 5 months, and if it ever comes to my mind, all i do is groan!

i just got the information about my host family last night. they're a family of 6, with one of the daughters being a year younger than me! also, this is amazing, my spanish parents OWN a theater school! ridiculously amazing? i think so! apparently the house is "big and luminous, and the student's [that's me :) ] room is quite large". needless to say, i'm already feeling spoiled.

as much as i've been looking forward to being away for 5 months, there are definitely some hesitations. it's going to be much harder to leave everyone than i had originally thought. things will go on here without me, and i'll be learning new things and experiencing new things across the ocean. everything will change--which is not necessarily a bad thing!

i've got to get to class now, but i wanted to get this blog underway!

i'll keep you all posted for updates :)

¡que tengan un día magnífico!
