Today is the day! I remember just two months ago posting a status on facebook about the numbers of days left until the big day and now I’m just two hours away from having to leave my house, parents, boyfriend, and my new kitten. I’m extremely nervous. I have been to Mexico before but this time its different. I’m not going with family, i’m going alone. Its been six years since the last time I made a trip to Mexico, so i’m super excited. I’m nervous about finally meeting all of the girls that are going on the trip. I’m nervous about the moment that Carmen will leave us with our host families. what do I do if I get sick? What am I gonna do if I can’t keep up with he Spanish? Yes, I know Spanish but I don’t think I know it enough. I’m nervous but i’m also very ready for this trip. I’m ready to take a trip alone and be able to choose what I do while i’m there. I’m ready to meet new people. My group members and the locals from Queretaro. Everything about this trip is exciting and makes me nervous but I’m ready to immerse myself in the language and culture. Bring on the new experiences.
