T-7 Days!

This semester will be spent studying abroad in the beautiful historic town of Sevilla, España!  As a Spanish major, this study abroad time is a requirement for my degree, but also an eagerly anticipated time of independence and adventure as I discover a foreign city.  I'll be taking classes about the culture, art, and of course the language of the Spaniards while living with a family and another student from the US.  

In preparation for this immersion experience, I've switched my phone language to Spanish, started using a Spanish Bible, and more importantly started watching Spanish TV shows.  As cheesy as it sounds it has helped prepare me for the Spanish accent (I hope) and also has just put Spanish in my head.  So much so that sometimes after I've been watching a show I'll without thinking speak in Spanish which I love of course! 

The biggest concern right now, naturally, is what to pack!  There are so many blogs that say so many things, and as I haven't ever really been to Spain in the spring it's hard to know the clothes and shoes to bring.  

As my brother is leaving to go back to Covenant, and some of my favorite people are already back there, I know this will be a hard semester as I will miss everyone so much and also miss some fun events like 80's Skate Night and such.  However, I know that I will be having a wonderful adventure in Europe with some wonderful people!

Adios for now,

Ellie
