Will probably miss my flight

Getting up early tomorrow to drive to the airport. Last day here in the states. Still packing. Not looking forward to the long layover in chicago before the flight to madrid. I know i will eventually fall asleep and probably end up snoring loudly on the plane. I can imagine the flight attendants and other passengers gossiping about my sleeping habits. Being up in the air is calming and cool, but yet I still hate ascending and descending to the ground. Freaks me out. I will probably instagram the cliché photo of clouds or something if I get the window seat! 

¡Hasta luego!

3 more days

Over the next few weeks, I will be studying abroad in Alcalá de Henares, España. It is right outside of the Spanish capital city of Madrid. I've taken a spanish class every semester of college, but feel as if I don't know the things that I should. It's hard learning another language in a place like mississippi. The only times I even hear spanish being spoke is in class. While in Spain, I hope not to spend my time as the typical American tourist, but trying to capture the country through the eyes of a normal everyday Spaniard.

First blog post.

Everyone has a story to tell. Mi nombre es Frank. I'm a senior studying Political Science and Spanish at Mississippi State University. I'm reaching a point in my life where I'm trying to figure out my next step. So many ideas and goals come through my mind, but I like to change my mind a lot. Someone once told me to always be flexible. Don't limit yourself. See the things you want to see. Do the things you want to do. Go to the places you want to go. That's what I hope to do. I don't want the typical lifestyle that most settle for. The strive to be different and do different things in life often pushes my mind to new horizons. 

¡Hasta luego!
