It's hard to believe that next month I will be in Europe, all on my own with a backpack traveling around having the chance of a lifetime. I'm nervous of course, afraid I'll be homesick or things will be different once I get back. But definitely hopeful. I hope the month of studying gives me the opportunity to greatly improve my skills in Spanish, since I'll be able to be fully submerged.
Rachel and I will be traveling buddies through it all! We bought our main plane tickets a week ago, but still have a set to buy that will get us from Rome to Athens, and then Athens to Amsterdam, so we can fly home. Then there's the train tickets we need. It sucks having to predict ahead of time how many days I think I will jump on a train. While it costs more to buy more days, I don't want to waste money if we don't use them. OR get stuck with a giant ticket because we run out of travel days (these passes allow you to travel in any of 4 countries unlimited on 7 different travel days, etc.)But it should be fine.
This last week of school is absolutely killing me, with the extremely large amount of work I have. But I've got to focus and put this trip on the backburner so I can do well on my tests. Then BAM! summer! Hopefully I'll be able to save a little bit more money before I'm gone, even with the dent of having to purchase a laptop so I can keep in touch while I'm gone.
47 days til departure!!!
