The joy of a first post...


Well, I think the title speaks for itself; I'm going to Spain in exactly 4 weeks! I've known since Christmas Break that I would be going, and so for the past 3 months i've been working, starving (not really), sacrificing pedicures (98.7% true), and saving for this once in a lifetime opportunity! I will be staying in Madrid, España with a local family for two months.


If you've ever heard of the book called Don Quixote (not Donkey Jote, by the way, I thought it was the guys name for the longest time), the author of it was Miguel Cervantes and he was born in Alcalá, and that is where I will be studying! I will also be visiting Barcelona, Sevilla, Granada, Toledo, Madrid, Córdoba, and so many more places. ¡Estoy muy emocionada!


Anytime a student goes on a study abroad, an internship, or a field study there is a prep class and each prep class is different depending on the nature of the program. In my prep class we are going over the different cities we will be visiting, the history, the art, the food, and culture in general. All I can say is that i'm excited to see this:
