A whole new world...

Well, the time has come. I leave for Spain tomorrow at 3 p.m.! I have been waiting for this for such a long time-this January was enjoyable, but tough with all my friends back at school. Needless to say, I became very domestic :) While I am very excited, yesterday I had a semi-nervous breakdown. I suddenly felt like I didn't want to leave and packing did not appeal to me. Seeing past that though, I know things will be very different, but an experience of a lifetime. I received my housing assignment last week. I am living with Carmen in the neighbiorhood of Triana (across the river, kind of southwest of the city). I do not know if Carmen has any kids or a husband, or what. I did creep on my neighborhood via google earth, and it looks beautiful! I will be living in an apartment rather that a 'normal' suburban house. Oh-I do have a roommate named Amanda from New York. Well, I think that is all for now. I must go try to fit all my stuff into a suitcase or two. Adios, amigos!
