Last minute stuff!

3 days to go! I'm kind of freaking out because there is still so much to do. I've packed up a lot of stuff and took a huge shopping trip to get everything from bug spray to appliance converters. While it's great that that stuff is done, that still leaves my essay (whoops) and my Hindi assignment (double whoops) and cleaning my room, which is a perpetual mess. I don't want to have to do my assignments while I'm in Madrid but it's looking more and more like that will be the reality. I'm going to try and get as much done as possible, but on the plus side, Chelsea will have a lot of stuff going on for her program in those few days, so hopefully i can use that time to my advantage and chill in a cafe somewhere and read/memorize the Devanagari script (Hindi alphabet that isn't really an "alphabet").

Also -  I've been following the adventures of AdventurousKate! She writes a solo female travel blog and has been really inspirational. She's traveling through Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam for 7 months. While I'm not doing something THAT hardcore, her wit and advice on how to not sweat the small stuff and just enjoy travel have been great to read up on. I definitely recommend it.
