Well, I'm officially off on Wednesday! Flying out of Dulles on Thursday in the evening and then arriving at The Madrid Aeropuerto at 7:20 AM...leaving me 7 hours to spare before my meeting time with the other JMU students in my program. I am slightly unsettled by this delay, and am not sure exactly what I will do to make the time fly. My one hope is that there is a sweet Spanish version of People or some other trashy magazine...so that I can update myself on the Spanish celebrities I should know all about in order to make conversation with my madre.
My madre appears to be fairly normal from the description provided.. she is a woman who lives alone and has two older kids who "viven independientes" in the city. I am excited to learn more about her and her family.
I think this will be my last post before I am actually in another country! After many days of preparation, I am down to my last day in Chapel Hill...one last day to make sure everything is packed and accounted for. I strangely find packing very therapeutic and have oddly been enjoying packing and making packing lists. At least I can relish in simple pleasures in the face of being uprooted and plopped in a foreign land, yes? I have also been feverishly applying for summer internships, whihc has been another layer of stress...I can only hope that my hard work pays off and that I will be getting art merch at a discount from the MoMA design store this summer!
adios, mis amigos, mi familia.
hasta pronto!

LINDSAY!!!
I'll leave this here for you- my sister got back to me. She says you want to check both NYU and GW housing for the summer because it's cheap, furnished, and you'll be around a lot of other kids. She says you should apply for housing soon though because it goes quick. Hope this takes a little sress off!!! Hope your flight went well!
