Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Well it seems that everyone is Spanish today...er, well, atleast Mexican! Totally two different cultures! Given light of recent situations (Osama bin Laden being killed) there seems to be a severe increase in security abroad. So much that the U.S. Department of State decided to release this Worldwide Travel Alert. Faaannnnntasticcc. We had a meeting about our trip the other day and it went fairly well. There's 8 other people traveling with me so we'll get to know each other real well. I'm a little bit anxious to find out who my familia will be, I hope they like me! Ubeda is a really small town so I'm excited to experience that culture. It seems like we're going to have a lot of fun, between having classes and mixing with local Spainards who will be learning english from us as we learn spanish from them, and our afternoon and weekend excursions. I'm still super rusty on my spanish but I'm sure once I'm submerged in it I'll have no choice but to recall it! Back to studying for finals for me...less than 2 weeks until my plane takes off! Yay!
