Introduccion

January 17^th used to see so far away! And now it has come and gone, and here I am in Spain!  So this blog is just going to be a way for me to keep everyone updated on what I’m doing while in Spain, so here it goes!  Yesterday (January 17^th) I was up bright and early (3:40 am!) to catch my flight at 6 from DIA.  So after a minimally tearful goodbye from Mom and Dad I was on my way!  Thankfully, I only had to handle the first part of the trip alone and then I was able to meet up with people from my program at the Chicago airport.  Everyone has been so nice and so fun to get to know!  There were also a lot of college study abroad students from other programs on that flight and after a minor mishap with a Spaniard who was in the wrong seat, I ended up in the middle of a whole group of them from another program and had so much fun talking to them!  It has really been quite a whirlwind full off lots of luggage hauling and not so much sleeping (I have gotten about 5 hours of sleep in the last 55 hours, which as many of you know is not enough for me!!) but it has been a blast so far!  I love it here, but I miss you all!
