My first blog!

Hi everyone!
I thought I'd start a blog of what I'm doing in Spain for anyone who wants to know. I've never really been good at this whole diary thing, but I'll try to keep it updated.
I'm leaving on Friday (the 23rd) and I'll be flying from Chicago to Philadelphia to Madrid. I'm flying with a friend who's also going to Madrid, and we figured we'd rather face the airports together than alone. :) Then after school is over in May, Brent and our friend Danny will be flying over and we're going to tour Europe for a month. Exciting!
I don't really have a whole lot to tell yet. I don't know who my host family will be or where I'll be living, other than somewhere around Madrid. I found out that my church friend Yvonne is going to be studying in Madrid this semester too, at a different university, so I'm hoping we can get together there. There will be about five or six other people from my school there, but I don't know them very well.
As for me, I've just been packing and hanging out at home. Really exciting, I know. I'm watching Saved right now. Great movie. Anyway, I don't think I really have anything more to say right now, so I'm gonna go and play hammered dulcimer!
I'll write again soon,
Bethany
