Acceptance of the Program!

Officially I have been accepted as of march 22nd!  I am so excited!!  at first on the 15th when the app was originally due it actually ended up saying that it was not accepted.. I was so bummed. but then my program coordinator sent me an email with answers to some questions I had about my visa and then i was confused because the program coordinators know who is going and all that. I asked her about it and she said she didn't know why it had said that. about 4 hours after it said not accepted it changed to deadline extended and finally after almost a week of that it was all sorted out and I have been officially accepted to the program for the next academic year!

I have gotten my new dufflebag suitcase, my carry on, a super awesome sleeping bag and travel size pillow, I am now looking into getting a new computer before I go so that I wont have to worry about someone else having to order it for me. I also am really hoping I can get enough money saved up so I can buy a nice camera.. but i haven't decided yet :)

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooo tomorrow I am going with my dad to get an iPad 2!! I am so excited and realllllly looking forward to it!!  I have received my new dufflebag/suitcase, Carry on bag, and my new messenger bag all for my trip!!!  even though it is still 5 months away I am so excited I just couldn't wait to get them! I also got a pair of Toms shoes and I ordered a couple stylus things for my soon to be new iPad!!!      ok well I cannot concentrate on anything more right now so ill have to get back to this later.

pre-preparation!!!!!!!!

    I have received several e-mails about applying for my visa since I will be in Spain for 10 months. My new dufflebag(suitcase) has arrived at my moms house and I will be getting an ipad soon. I already want to pack for leaving! I still have a few more items to arrive at my mom's house and I have begun thinking about what shoes I should take! it will probably take the next 6 months just to decide! I have recently purchased some Toms shoes and I am thinking about taking them. Something I can wear that wont come off but still slips on and off easily enough.

     I have been trying to decide about buying a new laptop over in Spain or having someone bring me one when they come visit me. I am not the most technical person ever. I have not yet decided what I should pack yet or if I should take purses or not!

    If you've got any advice leave me a comment! :)

Excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          I am soooooo excited about going to Spain in September! (I like to say the month because saying next year sounds so much farther away!)  I had my first meeting today for study abroad and it made me even more excited to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I met 6 other students who are also going to be going and at least 3 or 4 of us are planning on flying over together hopefully a few days early so we can do some sight seeing in Madrid before heading to Caceres and starting classes.  I will be getting a visa because I will be there for more than 90 days and we were told it is very cheap to fly between countries so we can go pretty much anywhere on weekends! A weekend in Greece sounds like it could be pretty nice!

        I probably wont be on here too often before I head to spain but I do plan to post everytime I get more information about what the trip will be like and everything! Keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!
