But let's back up, hello! My name is Katie and I'm going to study abroad in Alicante, Spain (right). I am studying secondary education at Central Michigan University with majors in Math and Spanish, hence the trip to Spain! My little brother will be starting school in the fall at Northwood University and my parents will be moving to Green Bay so there's been a lot going on in my life recently! I've wanted to go to Spain since I was a freshman in high school, so about five years now. I'm so excited for this experience that it's hard for me to imagine what it will be like. Now that I'm so close that I can almost taste it, my ideas and expectations are taking shape. I'm trying to keep myself grounded so that my expectations don't exceed reality. Regardless, this will be an experience of a lifetime that I will never be able to equal. I'll be updating my blog again soon with details about my trip to Chicago to apply for my visa. I had never been to Chicago before this trip so it was really excited. Stay tuned!
