Start of my Spain Adventure

I'm about to leave for Spain to spend a whole school year as a foreign exchange student. At first when I decided to do this I could not wait, and I also thought it was the best idea I could have possibly come up with. I mean who wouldn't want to get away from annoying people at school and start fresh? But now that I'm only four days away from leaving, I'm getting very nervous and sad to leave my family and friends.

Things around my house get more and more stressful as we get closer to leaving. About four months ago, my parents decided to get me settled for the first three months and drag my little brother along. So my mom feels like she has to pack up the house and eat every leftover in the cupboards. This trip is no longer about me going to Spain, it's about us, so whatever I thought was important to do before we leave is not important to my mom. And that is why I've been going to school for the past couple of days.

Although I don't sound that excited to go anymore, I know this will be a great experience for me. I'm excited to meet new people, become fluent in Spanish, eat new foods, and walk on the cobblestone streets!

I'll be writing on this blog pretty often, because it's the only time I'll be able to speak English freely, oh except the English class that I have to go to.
