Today I'm buying tickets to Spain.
It kind of freaks me out! But I'm excited too.
I just don't know if I want to leave either
(a) the first week of February and do 12 weeks in Spain (one more week to be there researching, enjoying the campus, and living in beautiful Spain)
or
(b) the second week and do only 11 weeks in Spain (with more time to rest after exams, be at home with Casey, and do more prep work for research in Spain).
If you have any thoughts/advice, internet world, speak now! I'm buying tickets in an hour.
*EEK!
Update: Tickets purchased! I leave for Spain on February 3rd and will return to the USA April 25th! It's just shy of 12 weeks.
I am trying not to think about how hard it will be to be gone for that long from home and from Casey. :-(
Okay. Besides researching, reading, writing, getting better at Spanish, (and eating paella obviously)... I wonder what else I should do in Spain beyond just walking back and forth between my host family and the SLU Madrid campus? I've been so focused on the work I've neglected to even consider the adventure!
The next tickets to book will be Casey's visit over holy week. I'm SO looking forward to that. It'll be like Honeymoon, Part II! <3
