I also hope that your stress starts to go down as everything starts to fall in place- it's so nice how you are finally 100% sure that you're going to Morocco, you're starting to settle into classes, and you are becoming assimilated into the Spanish culture! It's also awesome how you already have met so many people and have bonded so well with them! I think that I am very similar to you in the way that we both like to have everything planned out in advance. And I also agree that this mentality, while very useful and efficient, also causes you more stress when you are unable to plan things in advance. I think that studying abroad will help unleash a little bit of your "spontaneity"; you probably won't realize it now, but I'm sure that when you come back you'll see how you have grown to thrive a little on the thrill of being spontaneous and doing things that were unplanned! Remember that all of us back home are thinking of you; you have such a great support system here! We are all so happy for you as you get to explore the world... literally! As I've said before, I love reading your blog and looking at your pictures- I'm so jealous of all of the adventures you're having! And I'm sure that Paris will be wonderful- can't wait to hear from you on Sunday :)Kathryn Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946046044461484479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454097789341790070.post-69604890419563403282011-01-26T12:17:44.466-08:002011-01-26T12:17:44.466-08:00I hope the homesickness passes!

I wish I could be running outside here, but it is too cold! The gym here is much worse than SLU :( have fun in Paris, and hopefully you will have time to skype with me once you get back! I cannot wait to hear about all of your travels! Love you and travel safe!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278260726319860996noreply@blogger.com
