Post #1- Pre departure

I leave for Barcelona, Spain in less than a week! I am nervous for sure, but mostly excited. I will be teaching at St. Paul's School which is a Catholic school. I am looking forward to meeting my 4th year students and seeing how they compare to my 4th grade students here. I have had my second and fourth grade students write letters about our culture to my students in Spain, which I am looking forward to delivering. Based off the research I've done I know the school culture will be extremely different. The difference that shocked me the most was no level 0 in the hallways.... I can't even begin to imagine how crazy their hallways must be. Also, the fact that the students at St. Paul's School are trilingual automatically makes me want be friends with them. 
I think the biggest adjustment will be the time change. We will arrive Friday evening in Barcelona which will be around 3-4 a.m. our body time. Also, eating dinner late. I am a three meal gal and the thought of eating dinner at 11 p.m. does not excite me in the slightest. I am going to do my best to embrace the culture and immerse myself in it, but I have a feeling I will be eating two dinners a day. 

Cheers to new experiences!
