In the beginning, Derek learned to blog. And when he looked at what he had done, he saw that he had made jokes.

If you can read this, it means I'm finally figuring out how this blogging thing works. It's pretty neat. I think, given enough time, it may just catch on. And if you can't read this then you're a liar. Yeah, I said it. Anywho, this will be my official blog/public-journal/vulgar-rant-page for while I'm studying broads in Spa-I mean studying abroad in Spain.

Those of you that know my cousin Tristinn probably know that she went to Spain two years ago and that she also had a blog. This is good news for me because on those days when I'm feeling lazy I can just waltz on over to her page, give it the ol' copy & paste and BOOM: Instant Blog. It's so genious that I'm in awe of me. Now, I've yet to ask her for permission to do this, so nobody tell her.

I don't have a guaranteed time that I will be updating this. It will most likely be once every whenever-I-feel-like-it, which will hopefully be often enough to keep you satisfied. Also, I shall have pictures on here in the future.

So it's about 3:30 in the morning on the day I fly out right now. I am just about all packed and ready to head out in the morn.I fly out at about 3:00 p.m. to Chicago, and then I go from there to London. I've booked two nights at a hostel there, giving me just enough time to see much less than I'd like to. Friday morning, I will take a bus from London through the Chunnel to Paris. I will be in Paris for four nights in which I will do as many French clichés as possible. Then on Tuesday afternoon, I take a short plane ride to Barcelona where I'll taxi my way to the train station to get to Sagunto. Hopefully, they'll still pick me up at 10:30 p.m.

So that's the beginning of my journey. Make sure to check back here when you can. And make sure to leave comments, so I know who to buy gifts* for.







*Gifts include, and are probably limited to: hugs, links to non-related websites, permission to facebook poke me, and other things that cost €0.00 (That's just under actual money in American dollars!).
