grand opening

Hello all!
welcome to my new blog.  Here i will begin to share my experiences before/during/after my trip to Valparaiso, Chile.  Im going to study abroad and will be taking 12 hours total this summer (summer I: 6hrs, and summer II: 6hrs). I will leave for my straight 10 hr flight to santiago, chile (the countries capital and about 2.5/3 hrs SE of valpo) on may the 12th.  im very excited! Just in case youre confused, Cecilia is my spanish name.  When i introduce myself to people or a spanish class where i will be speaking spanish, i tell them that my name is Melissa but they should call me Cecilia; Ceci for short (pronounced Sessi)- hence my gmail address: youvegotceci@gmail.com.  Feel free to email me anytime tho i have no idea how busy i will be once im there so bear with me- but i love hearing from everyone! I will do my best to post pics here and/or facebook so dont forget to check there too.  hmm so today is may 3rd and i have 9 days til i fly out! im so excited and ready to enter my new world for the summer.  These past few days/next week are crazy busy.  Saturday (5/1) i kind of started to move into my new apartment, which meant i got down and dirty (or rather really clean) scrubbing and cleaning my room/bathroom.  they said they "cleaned it" but it was not near the dodson standard! haha but now its nice and clean and i started to take some stuff over there.  it is a lot more spacious than my dorm room which is nice.  Yesterday i woke up and went over there to do laundry and study some.  Mostly i worked on some spanish hw so that was kinda fun.  today i finish class at 2 then i go to davids bridal to try on a bridesmaid dress for jennifers wedding! then at 6-7:30 i have an extra credit lecture i have to attend for physiology because lets face it- i need allllllll the extra credit in there i can get! then i must write about y drinking too much water (to the extent of water intoxication) is bad for you and i must write a short paper explaining the effects on your body if u consume too much water... can u guess? email me and ill forward you the articles my mama found.  my finals schedule is as follows:  wednesday spanish 11:30, thursday human sexuality 1:30, friday psych 7:30AM (ugh) and spanish 1pm, and finally saturday physiology 4:30.  gross i know but i can do it.  then the parentals come saturday night and we finish moving me in and go home sunday.  well i close here for now but ill post if somthing comes up--
peace and blessings :)
