The First Post (a.k.a. Procrastination)

So. I should not be writing in this already. I should be writing the 10-15 pages I still need to write for my finals and reading a whole hell of a lot in Spanish. But procrastination never hurt anyone, right?

I cannot wait to get to Spain. It's going to be a much needed jolt in my life right now. Amherst is really freakin great and all, but I need to get away from class after class of the same work when I don't care about half of it at all. Hopefully, I'll be coming back from Spain with a more clear vision of what direction I want to take in my life, or at least what directions I'd rather not take.

There was a meeting a couple days ago about how to adjust to life abroad and all that fun stuff, and although they put up a frightening graphic that showed people spend most of their time abroad in culture shock (still don't quite buy into that), I found in very reassuring in the sense that school will not be causing me any stress in life. Now only that one little problem of trying to remember 10 years of Spanish that has seemed to slip my mind recently...

On that note, back to finals. So close, yet so very far away.
