As August 29th draws near there are many things on my mind: banking, packing, budgeting, travelling,etc.
For banking I have decided to go with Charles Schwab. They have no min balance, no fees, and unlimited ATM fee reimbursement! I am just waiting to receive my new card in the mail.
I am starting to get an idea together of clothes I want to bring. My philosphy inlcudes roll a lot, buy a few key items there, and neutrals neutrals neutrals! But I could not resist bringing my red jeans...
Budgeting for study abroad.... balancing needs like rent, food, and travel has appeared easy on paper... but, vamos a ver.
I have so much tentative travelling planned: Cantabria, Navarra, Pais Vasco, La Rioja, Aragon.. and that is just for fall semester. Of course there are also plans for La Feria in Sevilla in April! Viva España!!
The final -ing in my mind is worrying. Though I know most things are out of my control at this point I can't help but worrying something will go terribly wrong and I'll get sent home or detained. This dream becoming a reality has sent me on a whole string of irrational thoughts. Hopefully my NIE is not as problematic as this person's but if it is, I will deal with it when it happens. For now I am trying to stay in the present and focus on the positive energy and excitement that have brought me this far. So as of now:
Passport ✓
Visa ✓
Suitcase ✓
Last 2 Weeks of Work ✓
Excited, Positive, Outlook- gettin there!
More to come when packing begins!
