6 days til take off...

I've purchased the necessities: a power adaptor/convertor, a travel guide to Spain, a sturdy (extra-large) suitcase, and a sassy new pair of boots. I have my passport, my student visa, and my plane ticket. I've converted all my money (ok ok, mom and dad's money) into Euros, partly to finish my preparation, partly to stem my problem of shopping-as-a-result-of-boredom. In 6 days, I will be on my own on a plane to the other side of the world, with no idea of what to expect except that this will undoubtably be the biggest adventure of my life so far.

Bring. it. on.
