What I Know So Far

T minus 17 days. 

Literally, this is all I know…

I will be leaving for Seville, Spain on August 29 from O’Hare, and arriving in Madrid, then flying to Sevilla.

I’ll be spending the night in a hotel. Still working on those details. My program starts on August 31.

My friend Caity loved Sevilla, and she's got a pretty good taste in life. I also hear it has a lot of history- my major is history... I think we can make this work.

I will take a three week course or two on Spain and the language, then will be thrust into a 35 hr/wk internship. 

I have a passport, a visa, and a handful of Euros (thanks to my good friend, Sven, from the Netherlands, who has agreed to trade currencies with me when he arrives in America for the school year.. take that currency exchange centers, that’s what we think of your convenience fee. Gotta love having foreign friends).

I also have a basic/extensive understanding of Spanish vocabulary... I’ll re-evaluate that level after a week there. 

Everything else will work itself out. Maybe. But I won’t worry about that now.
