Only two weeks left until I leave on this great adventure to Spain, and I'm not sure what to feel! Of course I feel excited, nervous, and even a bit scared! Going halfway across the world from where I live, to a country I have never been to with a completely different language, is a big step! But, NZIIU has made things a lot easier, with the orientation manual describing different ways to cope with these emotions, and my family are also helping by keeping my spirits up! My host mother in Spain has also been keeping in contact with me, explaining how she has set me up at school and at the local swim club in Vigo, which is amazing!
My thoughts seem to be all jumbled at this point, I'm always wondering what I will be doing two weeks from now! Will I be settling in alright? Will I like the host family? Will the host family like me? Thoughts like these filter though my mind on a regular basis! I also think of how well speaking Spanish is going to go for me. Even though I have learnt it for a few years, I know no learning can compare to being thrown into a country that has their main language as Spanish! I will try my best to speak as much Spanish as I can, so I hope I don't say things too wrong!
I have mostly finished packing, and my suitcase feels a bit heavy :-/ When I weigh it, I hope it doesn't go over the limit!
