Five days to go...

I can't believe it's five days to go! I'm so excited about this trip. I keep trying to imagine myself speaking with the host family at the dinner table, and not knowing the right word in Spanish!
But this is good excitement....
It's a major responsibility being in charge of a group of students (there are 17 students...well, 18, if you count my niece from London who's joining the group), but everyone is as eager as I am, so it'll be fun.
Tomorrow, we get to find out about our host families...name, contact info, and pictures...I wonder what they look like? I wonder what they think of me?
Then, class begins. I have to teach the grad class for three days before I leave, AND make sure everyone has all their documents in order. So much still to be done, with only five days..
Next week at this time, maybe I'll be eating "arroz con pollo" or something else...
Looking forward to it.

I am getting very excited. I am also nervous because I have never been in another country for a whole month, away from my entire family.

BUT I am still excited and looking forward to the wonderful experience that is ahead of us.

I guess we're all excited and nervous. I'll be glad when the packing is finished and we are on our way. I'm so anxious to learn about my host family!
