New Adventures (i.e. Zaragoza, Spain) //

Hello lovelies! I know you all probably hate hearing lame excuses (and I mean, I do too), but I'm going to throw a couple out right now. I know I've been inactive on this blog lately, and that is for 3 main reasons.
1- I couldn't upload any photos to make posts, or let alone open the internet to log on to blogger, because my computer wasn't working properly for quite some time, as the startup disk was full and I had to get an external drive and transfer all my files and stuff. *deep exhale*
2- School started up about a month ago, and that means homework and plays and after school classes and science fairs and other projects and just a whole bunch of busy-ness that finding the time to blog has become quite a struggle.
3- I really just haven't felt the motivation to post on here. I love you guys, and I love this blog, don't get me wrong. It's just that I haven't really been feeling it as of late. //

Anyway, now that I've addressed that, I have some exciting news! On October 9, which is in 4 days from now, I will be having a girl from Zaragoza, Spain, come and stay with me for 10 days as part of an exchange program. She will come to school with me for a few days, and I'll get to show her around Boston and share my life and culture with her. I've already started talking to her via Facebook-- her name is Elena and she is basically me in another body and I am sOSO EXCITED TO MEET HER IN 4 DAYS. I AM SCREAMING. CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING?

And, perhaps the best part is that next semester, I'll get to stay with her and her family in Spain for 10 days. Anyone who knows me knows that I love traveling to new places, meeting new people, and exploring new cultures. I am my happiest when I am on an adventure of some kind. And I literally cannot wait until this Spain trip happens. This will be the first second trip where I actually get to live in another place, and not just experience from a tourist's point of view. I will actually be immersed in the culture and experience daily life as if I actually lived there. I hope that this is the second trip of many many more to come in the future.

Although preparing for our guest has been a bit of effort, I am so happy and I cannot wait until this amazing experience gets underway. FOUR DAYS GUYS. FOUR. I AM SO EXCITED! //

And with that,  I end this post. I really have nothing meaningful to share here, because, as stated earlier, I haven't really had motivation to post anything here. I just felt like throwing this post together to let y'all know that I am indeed still living and breathing, and to share my excitement! I hope to be more active here, but if I end up failing, I apologize in advance! xoxo //
