The Waiting Game

I have just over a week left in sunny North Wales before I set off for Barcelona. I absolutely cannot wait to get out there and start my Spanish year! I have been talking on Skype with Maria and she is so lovely and has made me feel a lot less stressed about coming over alone. We talked about what I was going to be doing at the school and general Spanish doings. 

I am leaving on 22nd September and I am going by TRAIN, yes, by TRAIN! It takes 20 hours to get there but it's the same price for me and I won't have any baggage restraints. Travelling doesn't bother me so I thought, why not?! Also, flying seemed to be a logistical nightmare and so we decided that I'd go through Paris and then down to Vic by train where Maria will pick me up. 

I'll be primarily working with Maria on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 4 hours each day and I will not be working on Mondays or Thursdays- what a hard life eh? I will be teaching 4, 5 and 6 year olds and we're going to be doing a project about the ugly duckling which should be fun. 

As for my accommodation, I have been in contact with the Erasmus coordinator for Vic University and I have asked her if there is a possibility that I could live with Spanish students. It was a  long shot but she seemed very keen and she will be passing on my details to Spanish/Catalan students (who studying English) that may want an English student to live with so they we can help each other with language. I love this idea. 

I have my Euros ready and all my relevant documents so all that there is to do now is actually get there! Eeekk.
