Landed in Barcelona

I landed in Barcelona today! I'm scared, excited, anxious, worried, awed, impressed, and overwhelmed. The longest airplane ride I have been on before now was from Las Vegas to Orlandoand back, which was about 5 hours each way. This one, minus the layover, was about 15 hours. I was so excited though that it really didn’t feel like it took that long. I’ve never been in a plane that served food, but the second flight served dinner and then a light breakfast (delicious, by the way). Going into different time zones was an adventure too, especially landing in a place that is 8 hours ahead of Utah. It was so weird to be eating fruit and yogurt at a time that I’m normally asleep. I think what makes me the most nervous about this trip is that I am not very confident in my ability to read a map. I was able to navigate a little when I worked in Florida for 5 months but I was always sure I knew how to get back, and I didn’t really use a map. I did use a bus system, but that was several years ago and much different than a metro system. I’m also nervous about everything being in Spanish. I remember a few words from my one semester forever ago, but not enough to be confident in speaking much. I'm going to try, though. I can’t wait to see what Barcelona has in store. I’m not sure what to expect but from the classes and talking to students who went last year, I know it’ll be totally worth everything.
