Simply dying of excitement.

          Well, it's here. Tomorrow I begin my journey to Europe for the very first time. It's weird; I decided when and where I was going to study abroad during my freshman year of high school. Now, I'm a junior in college, and I have grown and changed immensely in the past (OMG) seven years. But some of my dreams have stayed the same. This is one of them.

Goals for Barcelona:
1. Speak Spanish. A lot of it.
2. Learn to cook something that doesn't come in a bag and require 35 seconds on High to be a meal. 
3. Walk around, a lot. I am about to be engulfed by beauty, history, and inspiration. Let it in. 
4. Make new friends!
5. Go running on the seafront of the Mediterranean.  
6. Draw what's around me. I love to sketch, but I never do it. Time to change that.
7. Relax. If I'm being honest, that is one thing I haven't done yet in my college career. 
8. Have an alcoholic drink for once in my life. 
9. Take advantage of where I am. A.k.a, travel like it's my job. 
10. Write, constantly. Never be without my journal.
