Chelsea: 4th Post Summer

As you all know I am going to Madrid, Espana in August. But my Spanish is no bueno. So I have decided to do a full immersion course in Mexico (Cuernavaca) for four weeks in July. I am going with a program called Cemanahuac Educational Community. I will be living with a family, going to school just to learn Spanish, and I will also have a "partner" a Mexican local who will talk with me in Spanish and I will talk with him in English. I am hoping this will help my Spanish before I get to Spain. Although I am a little worried about the accent because the Spanish and South American and Central American are all so different. In August I am going to be working in the South of Spain in Cadiz. There is a place in Cadiz on the coast called Andalusian in the city of Costa De La Luz. I am being a waitress there, and I am never nervous. I have never worked at a restaurant, let alone in a country where I am not to familiar with the language. So if any of you are traveling around Europe this summer, I would be fun to see a familiar face. I will be there is August, and will be leaving in September for Madrid since my school starts September 4th. I also think it would be neat if all the people going to Europe could keep i touch. That way if I am going to France, I can e-mail Loni and ask her where to go, the good hostels and other exciting things. The same with England, I can e-mail Linda or Hannah and ask them the same thing. I am also more than happy to do that for anybody who e-mails me about Madrid. Keep in touch.
