So, in approximately 55 days I leave for a brand new world. Or, I guess it should be called the Old World. But I think that's mostly reserved for immigrants. Anyway. I leave for four whole months to live in the beautiful and dangerous city of Barcelona. Architecture, beaches, art, music, and lots of pickpockets. I've got my plane ticket, my passport...but other than that, I don't have much.
I've been studying Spanish since my sophomore year at Clinton High School. (Shout out to Sra. Reich!) So as of now, I've had 5ish years of foreign language. Now that doesn't at all account for the regional differences or the accent that I'll come into contact with when I arrive in Barthelona...but that's just one of the many challenges that I'll have to face.
I also face the challenge of keeping in contact with my friends and family back home while making new connections and friendships in Spain. Which is whyyyy....I started a blog! Yaaaaaaay! I am going to try to post at least weekly so that everyone back home knows not to call Liam Neeson to save me. Hopefully most of my posts will be both insightful and educational, with some humor and romance thrown in. You know, something for everyone.
Until that point, I shall give updates on my progress of getting to my goal! Which is...landing safely in Spain. So thanks for reading!
