Well the moment has finally come, and I am on my way to Oviedo. I spent my summer in Orlando and it was quite relaxing, hanging out with friends and family, but now I am ready for my semester in Spain. Though I have travelled outside the United States twice, once to New Zealand and England, this will be my first time living in another country. A couple of my friends from Rollins had attended the University of Oviedo last Fall, and they both enjoyed their semesters.
Two goals of mine are to become fluent in Spanish and to travel as much as possible. I have always wanted to become fluent in a language because it is a useful skill. I chose Spanish because it would be the best language to learn considering I am from Florida and have a large Latino population. When I told my friends and family that I was studying abroad in Spain, they all told me one thing and that is to travel and visit other countries. I plan on going to Germany, England, Switzerland and Italy.
