una semana mas

In less than a week I will be in Spain!!

I moved the last things out of my apartment yesterday, it was sort of a weird feeling knowing that that chapter of my life is over. My roommates were wonderful and I wouldn't trade my first year here for anything - they all helped me grow so much.

I was luckily able to take off work in order to prepare for my trip, get everything together, and spend some time with my family before I go. I am getting nervous the closer it gets. I have only been out of the country twice (well three times if you count the Bahamas) a week in Canada and a week in England. I have a feeling Spain is going to be very different from both of those experiences. However, there is so much for me to do before I leave that I hardly have time to get nervous.

Next time I write I will be in EspaƱa - I am so incredibly excited :D

Finally finished :)

Wow. I have survived my first year at UNT.

I have definitely come a long way: going to orientation scared out of my mind, not knowing a soul, moving into my apartment with three wonderful girls, the first day being attacked by a squirrel, joining a new church, making new friends, getting a job as a waitress, getting my nose pierced, going to actual football games! quiting my job as a waitress, and becoming a receptionist (much better fit), taking the entrance event, turning 21, playing in the snow, struggling through two semesters of classes, and stretching my mental capacity to overflow.

All I can do is smile...(and wait for my grades to post on myUNT)

Good luck to all of you that have a final tomorrow, you're almost there!
