First post

I leave for Spain tomorrow.

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this.

I'm kind of numb, truth be told. Numb to the fact that I'm leaving. I'm excited, of course, but I still don't think that it's really sunk in that I'm going. Granted, I've never been a very emotional person, but yet I'm still waiting for this rush of overwhelming feelings. I want to go, I'm somewhat nervous, but I don't think I'll feel much until I'm actually there, experiencing an entirely different world.

This is the first time I've been out of the country, the first time I'll be away from home for so long. I'm not only studying abroad, I'm also testing my character and my resilience. How well will I handle living in a foreign country, with a foreign family among an unfamiliar city?

Time will tell.

All that aside, I'm packed and ready to go. This blog will detail my experiences in Spain. I've made it so anonymous people can comment, and please, feel free to leave me comments, family and friends and strangers alike. Just leave a name somewhere so I know who you are!

Or become a "follower." You don't need a blog account, apparently, look into it.

Can't wait to make my first post in Spain!
