Spain-O here I come!!

Well well sports fans... the day has finally arrived... almost!

I officially have a day left in America! Wow... It's so hard to believe that I've been talking about studying abroad in Spain for over a year and a half now and it's finally here... It's still so surreal. I've been packing a lot of tonight and will undoubtedly spend most of tomorrow doing the same. I'm going to forget something I just know it! Luckily for me Poozie is coming over in just 6 weeks to see me so she can bring me stuff!!

Like any true member of this family, I had to get ALL of my prescription meds filled for 4 months. You should see my bag-o-drugs! Holy crap!! Along with that I have my cute new red tote to be used as my large purse carry on and my backpack which I'm sure will be packed! Mom is making fun of me because I want to take my Tinkerbell blanket with me... the airplane blankets are GROSS and I need something that's like home for the next 4 months! Thus far I think I will have more room than I thought I will in my suitcase. That is a good thing!! Other than that... life is hectic with getting everything in order and packing and spending LOTS and LOTS of money on this trip. I got traverlers checks the other day and just about cried when I got back in the car because of the amount of money I had spent! YIKES! All totally worth it!

So... I don't think I have much more about the trip yet. I should be arriving in Spain Wednesday evening. I'll have my cell phone on me for awhile on Tuesday until it stops working. Call if you would like. Um... other than that. Email/Blog will be my way of contacting you. Emails are always greatly appreciated. I'll get my mailing address up on this when I can. Hope to hear from lots of you while I'm gone!!

Love ya,
Alyssa


And yes, the answer to the question is I'm nervous as hell... but I'm also so damn excited I probably wont sleep for the next two days!
