LEAVING TODAY!

Oh my good lord, I am going to Spain today. I never thought that this day would come. In 15 I am off to the airport. I'm so nervous! My nerves are actually overtaking my excitement. Ach. This is the first time in a long time that I've been thrown into a completely new experience...and this time I'm in it alone, basically. Insanity. I have no idea what to expect, all I know is that it's going to be amazing, and even scary at times. I know that this is going to be one of the greatest experiences of my life, but it's so weird to know that without knowing what exactly to expect! I mean, I don't even know if I remember how to speak Spanish! So my flight leaves from O'Hare at 5:15pm, then I arrive in Zurich, Switzerland at 8:45 am (a.k.a. around 1:45am Chicago time), then hop right back on another plane at 9:30am to Madrid which arrives at around 11am. Then I bum around that airport until 4pm and fly into Sevilla by 5pm in order to make a mandatory meeting at the hotel there by 7pm. I reeeeally hope all of this runs smoothly, customs goes well, baggage comes in one piece, etc. Mehhhhh. Speaking of baggage, I packed pretty well, but it's going to be a lot to carry around; I brought 2 large rolling suitcases, a small duffel carry-on, a backpack, and my little purse. That's going to be kind of ridiculous especially since I'm a little girl. Hehe. Sigh, I should get going. I'm so freaked out right now. Well, the next time I post I will be in Spain. That's ridiculous. I cannot believe I'm going to Spain! I'm going to Europe! AHHHHHHH! OK, love to all! Wish me luck!!!!!!
