Preparation...

Well it's too late for me to back out now, if I ever wanted too! So the fun part begins... trying to get everything I need and learn what I actually need. when you think about having to pack for a month, it can be a little overwhelming! Thank goodness for the internet is all I have to say! I am learning a lot of things that I need to via the world wide web. And the best part is that half of the time, you can get what you need on ebay and amazon for dirt cheap. for example, my power source converter thingys... like a dollar something. amazing. My Spain advisor emailed me friday and apparently we don't have enough students signed up to receive the group rate airfare, so now we have to find it on our own. Good news is that the cost went from $3950 to $2950, but the bad news is that the cheapest flights right now are in between 1300 and 1500...ugh. Hopefully I will be able to receive a buddy pass form a dear friend, cross my fingers. This is tougher than I expected..
