Experience of a Lifetime

In May 2008, I had the opportunity to travel with a group of fellow language students on a UAB faculty-led study abroad trip to the city of Jaén in the province of Jaén, Spain.

While there, I had the opportunity to live with a host family and take classes at the Universidad de Jaén.

During our stay, we also had the opportunity to visit Cazorla, Granada, and Madrid. It was a truly enriching experience that has both shaped and enhanced my language skills and understanding of the Spanish culture.

This blog is an account of my experiences in Spain and is in no way affiliated with nor a representation of the experiences, thoughts, or opinions of the UAB Study Away office.

Three Days Out.

I don't think it could be much more crazy. I am three days from leaving for Spain. I will be travelling overseas to live for three weeks. In the grand scheme of things, it isn't really too long, but I know it may feel like an eternity in the first few days.

I think I feel slightly overwhelmed right now. I have not done any packing yet. All of that has yet to be done. I am really looking forward to experiencing everything. I am nervous because I don't know what to expect. I am praying about the family I will be living with while I am there. I am praying that it will be a wonderful, beautiful experience that will change my life.
