"Life is like a box of chocolates..."

Hey everybody out there reading my blog!

I just thought I'd try to update once more so that you have a vague idea of what's taking place in my life. No, I will never post those intimate details that the gossips want to know but I may post something like....

I'M GOING TO SPAIN!!!!!

Yes, you heard right if you heard me scream that through this computer. I can hardly wait. I'm so very excited to make my first trip to Europe.

I've known that it was happening for a while now but I was nervous about posting it for all you people to see but now I'm just overflowing with excitement and I can't put it off any longer.

Anyone with European experience out there?
Well, your advice is appreciated. So are tips and places to see etc. Just drop me a line please!

Okay, ummm...

Where in Spain?
Alcala de Henares, East of Madrid about 20 minutes by train I'm told.
I will study at the Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros and stay with a host family whom I don't know yet.

When?
I leave January 6th and I should come back around the end of April. I don't know if I'll be back in BG after that as far as summer plans but so far I've just been looking for a job so any tips there are useful too. I want to save up to go on my next big adventure, wherever that may be...

Okay, so what about what's going on now?
Well, classes are going well still. I have 19 credit hours which keep me busy endlessly and I have great friends that take my mind of work when I need a break (before I go insane).

Cassi came to visit me Friday and I think we had fun. We kinda did a bunch of nothing really but sometimes that's the best thing to do (or not do). We went to the Cookie Jar and got some yummy warm cookies that you have to try to believe that they're the best, and we went to Finder's, the record shop uptown to look around a bit. Unfortunately she went home before the sparkle party (lol) but that's okay.

Today, I let my friend Evelia take pix of me (I needed a new one for Facebook). So I have a few new pictures that are really cute...plus I got to roll in the leaves for the fun of it and no one said a thing!!! HA!
One of them is my new picture and the others that we picked from the bunch are on Facebook if you want to see them.

Okay so now I have to go get some stuff done so that I'm not behind tomorrow.

Blessed Be!
