Scary!

So in exactly one month I will be on a plane heading to Madrid... The closer the day gets, the more anxious I'm becoming!  I love reading other people’s travel blogs and I hope people will enjoy mine as well. It seems to me that I’m on the older side of the student travelers! I’ve only been noticing 19 and 20-year-olds but hopefully there is more students my age. I don’t need another thing to worry about when I go to Spain. I don’t know what I’ll do if there’s only 18 and 19-year-olds there! I’m gonna freak oooout! Ahhhh! Ok ok, I’m being dramatic but the age difference does matter. Sort of. I don’t know. 
So here are some of the things I’m freaking out about:
  • There’s only 30 days until I leave
  • The age dilemma
  • I still haven’t bought my luggage
  • What if I don’t fit in?
  • What if I fail my classes?
  • Not being able to travel
  • Running out of money
  • Being homesick to the point of wanting to go home a.s.a.p.
  • Not learning anything
  • Not having that ‘life-changing’ experience everyone talks about
  • Being the only Hispanic person in the program
  • Being all alone thousands of miles away from my friends and family! (I think this one is pretty obvious and expected)
  • Not being comfortable ‘going out’ to bars and clubs and places like that because I’m in a committed relationship
  • Not being able to go to Spain after all
So those are some of my fears that I can think of right now. I’m pretty sure there’s more I don’t remember at the moment. We'll see how things go. Ahh one month!! Can't imagine what I'll be feeling when there's only one week left and then one day!
