3 weeks till Spain

Today is the the 3 week mark till I am in Spain.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  I'm excited to be in another country again. I've explore two other countries outside of the US.  I've been to India several times and went to Jamaica for spring break 2011 to do a service trip.  Those were amazing experiences especially since I was immersed in a different culture.  But I'm nervous since everything is going to be different and I have lots to do before I get there: buy my ticket, pack, find out my housing situation (I'm waiting to hear back from the program still), and most importantly brush up on my Spanish.  I've taken five years of Spanish and within a few years of not using it, its gone rusty.  I've watched some Spanish shows (Spanish soap operas are really entertaining) and doing some studying.  There is a two week intensive Spanish course all the students will be doing before classes start at school, so that will help a lot.

I will be taking a few business and humanities courses at the CIEE program and the  Escuela Superior de Comercio Internacional.

Well its time to get packing!
