So, I am waiting in Denver to board my flight to the wonderful city of Philadelphia (well, who knows how wonderful it is, but I have to believe it is at least better than Newark, NJ...). From there I am flying to Madrid at 8:35pm; I will arrive at 10:10am Madrid time. For those who were wondering, Madrid is 6 hours ahead of Washington, DC and 8 hrs ahead of Denver. (That means since it is 12:30 in Denver now it is 8:30 in Madrid). And, yes, Dad, it is still the same day there. I'm pretty awful at remembering that sort of thing, so I set three clocks on my computer to avoid excessive math at all costs.
Anyways, I'm really excited, a little nervous, but mostly... I just want to be in Salamanca getting started with my semester abroad. I want to meet my family and get settled (the address, for those who care and maybe want to send a few cards ;) is: Paseo de la Alamedilla, 14-16, 2 A; 37003, Salamanca, Spain).
The worst part is cellphone withdrawal. It's a little disconcerting to not be able to call anyone at any time. I guess I'll have to wait until Saturday when we will get our Spanish cells (at exorbitant costs, might I add). Thank God for email and the internet :)
!Hasta pronto!
