Day of

So sometime around 8:00 last night it finally hit me. Oh my lord I'm about to leave for Spain. Yikes! (gulp) I finished my packing and everything fit!!!! It was very exciting to realize that I actually managed to fit everything into my allotted suitcases and actually even have room to spare. I get to bring home souvenirs! I've sent off my forms, made copies of my passport, checked into my flight online, and have prepared in every other way I could think of.

My mom and I have been running errands all day: bank, post office, etc. We're actually leaving for the airport in a little over an hour; bad weather is threatening to rear its ugly head, so to speak, so we're leaving extra time just in case.

So, yeah, nothing major to report. I've been getting the same lecture from all of my family members and even a few well-meaning friends, plus one Wachovia employee. Be careful, watch your belongings, don't go off with strangers, don't end up like that girl, blah blah. I'll try my best to stay out of trouble, but no promises. If anything major happens, it will at least make for a great entry in my blog. Perhaps a comparison of the two legal systems, or a review of the jails in Barcelona. Hahaha....heh. I sure hope I'm kidding.

Anyway, I must finish up some last minute business before heading out. My next entry will tell all about 1) the plane rides and 2) my first days in Spain. I'm really excited about orientation, but not so much about the scavenger hunt we're required to do. I swear, I will be in a senior home and they will still make me do f-ing scavenger hunts. Ah well. At least I'll be in Barcelona.

Hasta luego!
