One week to go....

Hi everyone! I'm leaving for my semester in Salamanca, Spain in a week, so I thought I would go ahead and set up my blog, which I'll use to keep you all updated on what I'm up to. Right now I'm still at home in Georgia, packing and getting ready for the big trip. My friend Kristen is also going to Salamanca, so she is coming to Georgia on Tuesday, and we're going to leave together from Atlanta Thursday evening. We arrive in London Friday morning and fly to Madrid Friday night. Then we'll take a train to Salamanca, which is about 2 hours away from Madrid. Lots of travel time. I'll be staying a hotel Friday and Saturday night and I move in with my host family on Sunday Jan. 18. Then I have a week of orientation and classes start Monday January 26! And yes, all my classes are in Spanish, which still kind of terrifies me, but I'm sure after a week of Spanish culture classes I'll be much better prepared. That's it for now....I'll write again once I've arrived in Spain!
