96 more days until I say "Bon Voyage"

So, even though I have a long time until I head out (which I know will go by fast) I am still very excited and packed with so much paperwork! I recently had to fill out my housing paperwork. I absolutely loved some of the options! I can live with a family with or without children; and then I had the option of living with a family with or without pets! That idea of having at least one pet was such an exciting idea! Then I thought for a moment...what if their idea of a pet is a python... or just fish... Oh well, I'll take my chances!  So I put down to live in a family with kids and pets! So excited!! For those who do not know me well, I want to teach in a Spanish speaking country; so living with children would be such an amazing experience! Well, a few more papers to fill out!
Adios y buenos saludos!

Getting Accepted!

So, last weekend I got two acceptance letters to two different programs! I received the first one for Seville, Spain, and was extremely excited just knowing I was going to be able to travel next semester! That night my roommate and I went out to a concert, and then I finally got back to my computer at 1am! When I looked at my email, I had an email from the school in Costa Rica. Nervously, I opened the email to the words, "Congratulations! You have been accepted!" I was bouncing off the wall! This was my first choice destination! I had already gone on a trip to explore the school, and because my aunt wanted to go see Costa Rica. I fell in love with the school instantly! I loved the location, right in San Jose, and the atmosphere and the idea of studying in a Spanish speaking country. (I probably should add in, that I am a double major at my home institution; Spanish, Elementary Education, while also minoring in music). So in January I will hop on a plane and live with a family right near the university, and explore the Costa Rican culture! Excited, no...Beyond excited, YES! Well, off to go buy my plane tickets!
