hopes for my experience in Spain...

I'm really excited to be in Spain and I've really enjoyed everything about Madrid so far! I've always wanted to study abroad in Spain and I'm hoping this will turn out to be a great experience. I'm most looking forward to living with a host family. When I was in third grade, we had an exchange student from Spain and ever since then I always thought it would be really fun to live with another family in another country. The only thing I'm worried about is saying something wrong in Spanish and embarassing myself infront of my family. However, that is part of the reason I chose to study abroad...so that I could improve my communication skills. :)
