Everyone either asks me if I’m nervous to go to Spain or if I’m excited. I always find it a dumb question because obviously, I’m both. I’m excited about the experience and making new friends from all over the world. I’m also excited to not be in school because I am so done with Marquette. I get so much homework it’s hard to have a social life at all. I’m also excited because I only have to do 3 hours of school each day besides Saturday and Sunday and the rest of the day I get to play soccer and explore the country. I also am excited to get away from home and have some freedom without parents looking over my shoulder 24/7. But I’m also nervous for almost the same reason. I’m worried I will get behind on my school work on the computer and I know I will eventually probably get homesick. Also, I have to be on the plane by myself which I have done before but for a much shorter trip. I have a layover in Iceland for 4 hours so I just have to sit in the airport by myself which seems pretty scary. I am in Spanish 1 so I know a little bit of the language but I probably won’t be able to communicate very well with the people over in Spain. I know that I will miss my friends and my dog and a lot of other things I’m used to here but overall, I think I will be fine and it will be a great experience.
Nervous or excited
