I'm not freaking out... yet

So, this is the blog that I plan to write about my experiences while abroad so that first of all, I don't forget, and secondly you (assuming someone besides myself is reading this) can all stay somewhat up to date on my life while I'm gone. I am not sure yet if I will have internet in my house or how often I will have access to it so I don't know how frequently I will update but we'll see. At this time next week I will be on a plane on my way to Quito! Kind of crazy and surreal... considering I still have no information of the family I'm living with, I check the mail every day the moment it arrives but have to yet to receive my passport/visa and I still have a few 100 pages of my pre-departure readings I "must" complete. Did I mention that I am not a procrastinator at all. So what am I most nervous for at this moment? I would say my inability to fluently communicate in Spanish. Yes, my programs require 4 semesters of college Spanish, but somehow I tested into 3rd semester which means I've only taken two Spanish college classes and the second was over a year ago.. but I heard its like riding a bike... which I remember to be a pretty painful, knee scraped full days... so we'll see! Es la tiempo to commence the packing!
