Day1-San Antonio Classroom1

June 4, 2007: I can’t believe the time is almost here! Only one week before we depart and it still feels like a dream, a dream come true! I'm looking forward to everything that will be coming my way, especially the plane ride and most importantly the opportunity of experiencing a different culture and way of life. My expectations are above all I've ever had and just keep growing everyday. I'm looking forward to getting out of my norm: no work, no family, no driving and no cell phone.

I have been looking at several travel sites such as the beach in Barcelona, and watching Flamenco. Lately I've been watching the travel channel religiously. I was very excited when I received my passport, which I carried around and showed to everyone and can’t wait until I will receive my first stamp out of the country. I have been working constantly almost every day saving up as much money as I can to pay for everything for this trip, and now it is coming up next week. All my hard work will soon pay off as I experience this once in a lifetime trip. Today's class was interesting; we read a couple of short stories and had a discussion.
