I'm leaving on a jetplane...

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog! I leave for Spain in about 2 days and am getting verrrry excited! I will be flying out of the Chicago O’Hare airport at 4:45 on Sunday night… my flight goes from Chicago, to Madrid, to Sevilla (a 9 hour flight). It’s kind of strange, but I’m not really nervous yet. Several of my friends from Madison (including one of my roommates this past semester) are in the same study abroad program as me, so that makes things a lot less stressful. I think my biggest concern is speaking Spanish… all day, everyday. Although I’ve taken a million and one Spanish classes, I’m certain it will take a while for me to get used to constantly speaking a different language.

Last night my friends that haven’t gone back to school yet and I went to Shenanigans Irish Pub in Green Bay for one last “hurrah.” It was a lot of fun and I’m glad I got to say goodbye to everyone before leaving. I’ll be spending my last day in Wisconsin packing my life into two suitcases (that I can hopefully manage carrying on my own!), getting coffee with my good friend Anni’s mom, and having dinner with my family at A’Bravo.

Well, that’s all I have for now… more to come when I’m in Sevilla and have more interesting experiences to talk about! Keep in touch…

Hasta luego,
Emily
