In three days and eleven hours I will depart Salt Lake International Airport, catch my transfer flight to Madrid in Dallas, and arrive in Madrid at 9:55am on Sunday, May 24, where for five hours I will be on a bus headed to Oviedo, Spain. For five weeks I will be living with a host family that speaks no English and studying Spanish at the Universidad de Oviedo.
Instead of sending mass emails to everyone in the states, I thought it would be more efficient to have this blog so everyone could receive somewhat daily updates of my studies and excursions abroad. If there are no technological problems, I'm hoping to post pictures as frequently as possible.
If you would like a postcard during my travels, email me with your mailing address at u0520495@utah.edu so I can get right on that. As soon as I can figure out how to succesfully communicate my way through a transaction at the post office in Oviedo, I will mail you one!
My program begins bright and early at 9am on Monday, May 25, and ends on June 26. At that point, I will be spending some time in Barcelona and Madrid. I will be departing Madrid for the United States on July 4. If you need to contact me via email, I will only have internet access Monday-Friday for about a half hour during school, so responses will likely go out around 24 hours after you send yours. Also, I will no longer be at school after June 26 so if I have any internet access at all, it will likely be erratic, and I'm not sure exactly when or where I will be able to access email.

Feel free to comment on my blog! That's what it's here for.
I hope you have so much fun. We are all going to miss you!
