I sit on my bedroom floor stuffing clothes into my pack as I check off items on my list. Journal..check, camera..check, jeans..check, shoes..check check check. Between my dog chino stealing the few pairs of socks i've managed to scrounge up and my 5 month old niece, Kyla who is chewing on my watch I am beginning to feel my time slowly ticking as my procrastinating finally hits me. Only 8 hours until departure but I am thoroughly excited and hastily grab more clothes in a protective grasp as my sister (who has also studied abroad) takes them away from me discarding into my "not going" pile ignoring my sad protests (conveniently for her-we are the same size... I'm suspicious if after all she is truly "advising me" or just increasing her own wardrobe, most likely a little of both). My Mom and Dad have thoughtfully purchased many "luxury" items that in my haste would have otherwise been forgotten: vitamins, razors, deodorant, sleeping pills, emergency pharmacy, make-up. Thank you Mom and Dad I love you and will miss you. I am looking forward to your visit in a few months!
Packing list
My organization :)
Yes, finally I think I may be ready to head to the airport and begin my journey to Granada, Spain where I will be studying for the next 5 months. My scheduled itinerary for API (Academic Programs International) states that we will be spending three days touring Madrid and Telado as we head down in buses to our final destination of Granada. A city that is nestled in the mountains of southern Spain.
