At this point no one knows I am creating a blog(well my mom wanted me to...this'll be a nice surprise for her), therefore I don't expect anyone to even be reading this particular post. I'm thinking of it as practice for the upcoming months:)
I sit here on my couch next to my beautiful xmas tree and warm fireplace, thinking of how fortunate I am to have a nice warm house to be in on this cold, cold evening. It has literally been snowing all day! More and more snow seems to accumulate each time I look outside.(I guess that's what you get living in Pennsylvania in January) It's been a very lazy day for me. Since I can't go out due to all the snow, I've spent most of the day relaxing with my mom and pets, reading( the 7th Harry Potter book, since I don't remember much from my first read through a few years ago),cooking (i never cook, but today i successfully made irish soda bread with craisins and chili...boredom must have been getting to me), and watching multiple football games to see if those Pittsburgh Steelers will actually make the playoffs. Doubtful, but we shall see! :-)
In 2.5 days I will be embarking on a very exciting, once in a life time journey. I will be spending the entire semester studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. While there I will live with a host family (well a Senora and two other girls), taking International Business courses through a program called IES, and hopefully getting to see some awesome European sights. I am really excited about this opportunity, but I will definitely miss my family, friends, and home while I'm away for such a long time. In fact, I've never been away from home for longer than a month, so four months away from the norm is going to be a challenge. I'm up for it though, and I hope to use this blog as a way for me to keep in touch with the people I will be missing from back home.
Well I have about 2000 things I need to get done within the next few few days, so I guess I should stop writing and go take care of some laundry!
Until Barcelona,
Grace
I think I figured it out! I had to sign in to my Google account first.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the Ciutadella (sp) is way better than any I have seen online. Also, it is really hard to leave a comment, so if you don't get anyone commenting, it isn't because they aren't enjoying your blog!
