Carpe Diem

 "Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come."

There is a small number of only sixteen days left and reality is beginning to sink in: this is really happening.  It all feels so surreal.  And I’ll be honest I am beginning to feel the slightest bit nervous and anxious.  I am going to an entirely different country and living with people I have never met; no one can tell me that in that situation they would not be nervous (unless you are a robot, they do not have emotions).  But underneath all that initial terror and fret, I am also still thrilled and ecstatic to be going to Spain.  I mean it is Spain! This isn’t an opportunity that comes around on a daily basis; I have been given a once in a life time chance (of which I am so grateful).  Despite my bipolar feelings, I have no doubt that in sixteen days I will be off on my big adventure and I want to make the most of it.  I want to be the say yes (or rather si) to everything girl who is up for anything and everything to get the full experience.  So I have adopted a new addition to my motto: Carpe diem because well… yolo.
