As many of you know, I am leaving for Spain in about a week. I will be living in Barcelona with an older Spanish couple, along with another American student from Colorado. I'm a little nervous about this situation. I have lived with my brother for the last few years, but I have always had my own room, my own bathroom, and have not really anybody to answer to but myself. I'm sure it will all be fine, but it will probably take a while to get used to. I'll be taking 15 hours of classes (9 hrs of Business classes, 6 hrs of Spanish) at a school called Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona ("Autonomous University of Barcelona" in English).
Something a lot of people don't know about Barcelona is that its in a region of Spain where a language called Catalan is widely spoken. It has similarities to Spanish, French, and Italian. Other than that, I know very little about it. Haha. Spanish is still widely spoken in Barcelona, but most street signs and storefronts are in Catalan. So, not only will I be quite confused a majority of the time, but I'll be confused in two languages.... Awesome... It will be an adventure.
I would like to keep in touch with as many people as will have it, so I will try to update this fairly often. Come find me before I leave!
Talk to you soon,
LC
