For someone who hates to fly, making the decision to spend a
semester across the Atlantic Ocean was not one I took lightly. After a lot of
thought and an incredible amount of support from family, friends, and
professors, I did it. I applied to the Universities Studies Abroad Consortium’s
semester-long program in Alicante, Spain, and voila…that was that.
Here in Spain, I will be living with a host family for the
next three and a half months while taking classes through USAC at the
University of Alicante. I have been placed in the third of four “tracks”
through their program, and amazingly, the language courses I take here will
count as credits towards my Spanish minor at the University of Maryland
(score!). I will also be taking a conversation class and a Spanish cuisine
course (just for kicks….you win some, you lose some – although I’m not sure I’ll
be losing anything in that cooking class :p). More to come!
