Two weeks!

I'm pretty new to this whole blogging thing, so forgive me if this post is very silly.

That being said...

Hello! I'm Laura! And I'm about to head to Granada, Spain for the spring semester. I'll be studying with IES Abroad as well as at the University of Granada and staying with a host family, whose identity is yet to be determined. I'm leaving for Spain on the 25th of January, which is very, very soon. At this point, I'm wicked excited to go, but have a whole lot of stuff to get done before I go, mostly involving figuring out how to fit my entire life in a suitcase and a backpack.

Anyway, I wanted to start this blog to keep you all updated on my whereabouts, the adventures and misadventures that I may or may not get myself into, and to keep in touch with people if phone lines are not always feasible methods of communication. I'm hoping to post about once a week, but I don't know about the Internet availability quite yet, so I'll do what I can.

I hope you enjoy this and don't think that I'm too crazy! I love you all, and keep me posted on your lives as well!
