Getting Ready

So here I am, at the end of my third semester at UNCW. I just returned from my Introduction to Information Systems and Technology final (which I'm pretty sure I aced, by the way), and walking back in the crisp, 29 degree weather, I couldn't help but think of the current sunny, 62 degree conditions in Santander. If you're wondering how I know what the weather is like in Spain, it's because I've added Santander to my weather update on my iGoogle homepage. Even though I'm not leaving for another 2 months, I've already done a lot of things to begin preparing myself. All of which I will gladly list for you now:

  1. Adding Santander weather updates to my iGoogle hompage.
  2. Preparing a mental list of what to pack.
  3. Downloading a LOT of Spanish/Latin American music.
  4. Changing any websites of which I'm a member, such as Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, and email, to Spanish. (I know it's stupid, but believe it or not, I've learned quite a bit of vocab from Spanish Facebook...)
  5. Watching familiar movies in Spanish. (Like Harry Potter...I could quote that movie from beginning to end, so it's really easy to understand it in Spanish. Also I'm thinking about reading it in Spanish too. That'd be cool.)
  6. Signing up for classes, which are as follows:

    1. Advanced Spanish Lanuage
    2. Advanced Grammar and Composition
    3. Spanish History
    4. Introduction to Spanish Literature
    5. Spanish Art and Geography

  7. And lastly, writing this little blog.

Hey, how's that for fancy html?? My MIS 213 professor would be proud. Who knew you can use things you learned in school in the real world??? anyway....

So don't worry, if I realize I've forgotten anything, I'll be sure to add it in here. Anyway, I'm going to go study for my Spanish final tomorrow. But before I go-if you feel so inclined to click on my ads, I'd be okay with that, as I'm earning revenue for them on a per-click basis. Earn me some spending money while I'm abroad!!

PS-That's going to be my new parting quote. Thanks to Tori Carle :)
