Maddie's First Post

There is less than one week until my flight and I am so excited. Along with the excitement though, there is still the thought of being away from my family and friends for an entire month. It's hard enough being away from home, but I am also anxious about speaking Spanish. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up fast and keep up with Silvia and her family who I will be staying with.

Then there is the issue of my picky eating. I wouldn't say I am not adventurous when it comes to new foods, but there is the drawback of my utter hatred of tomatoes. What do I do when it comes to salsa, paella and other foods that will inevitably be offered? I guess I will have to work on building an immunity to the bitter taste of tomatoes and avoiding my desire to be sick all over the table. I guess I'll have to keep you updated.

Other than these woes, my only other worry is the workload. Along with my stoichiometry corrections and notes I will need to keep updated on, I will also be posting a Spanish entry about two times a week for Sra. Neuman who will hopefully miss India and me while we are away. Hopefully.

So I have a few more days left to pack and worry before India and I get to venture off on an exciting and slightly nerve-wracking adventure.
