After months of anticipation, plenty of preparation, and nothing short of pure excitement remaining, I sit four days away from my departure to Europe for the semester! Wow, where did the time go? You may be reading this journal with a curiosity of what I am encountering, where I'm going or where I've been, or maybe just to keep up with the antics of a guy like me overseas. At this point, nothing much has changed. I sit in my Waseca home on a Sunday, about to watch the Vikings in a playoff game. They're projected to lose, as far as I've heard, but we'll see what game time brings. Although my loyalty to the Vikes is clearly unquestionable, I still have a lot on my mind about the next couple of days, and more importantly, about the next four months to come. Who do I want to see before I leave? What do I want to do? What am I going to pack? My flight leaves around 11 a.m. on Thursday morning, which means I have until Wednesday night to make final (and initial) preparations. :) My expectations of everything at the moment remain in a slightly gray area... but seeing as it's the opportunity of a lifetime, I'm ready to go! I'm traveling with a sweet group of folks, and we'll all do what we can to make the best of it! This is the first update of hopefully many, so I hope you readers enjoy.
:)

ReplyDeleteHi Tito!
ReplyDeleteIts Emily Hanson :) I saw on your FB status that you had a blog about your trip so I subscribed and I'm totally gonna keep tabs on you while you're there! You said your flight leaves about 11am Thursday.. well thats right about pretty soon here! Hope you have a great trip and I'll be reading about how it goes! I'm sure its going to be amazing. Have a safe trip and a great time!
Basically, I just want to echo what Emily said. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say good-bye before you left. Have a great semester, and I'll keep myself updated in a nonstalkerish way via your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteHello BM (Not to be confused with Bowel Movement)...
ReplyDeleteAnyways... You're probably already in Amsterdam and doing some more stellar traveling before you finally make it to Spain... I'll hook myself up with a Skype account and we'll webcam it up on our wonderful Dell Inspiron computers. If you've got any questions about Valladolid or what not, just hit me up...
Good luck friend

Can't tell you how much I'm missin' you!! Watching you go through security at the airport & waving our last goodbye was really hard, but I'm so looking forward to the first hug when you get back!! I can't wait to have our first conversation via Skype & I sure hope I can figure out this webcam stuff!! (I might be giving Kwank a call!) Hope you had a safe trip & are having a great time so far!!
