my VISA arrived!

5 weeks after going to the Spanish Consulate in DC my passport, stamped with my visa, finally arrived!!! Now I guess I should start thinking about packing...

Triathlon!!!

Today I raced in & completed my first triathlon!!! It was really exciting & I can't wait to do another one! It was also awesome because not only was my mom able to come cheer me on, but 2 of my high school friends were able to complete it as well. Obviously I preferred the running section the best, although no doubt I would've preferred a longer run. So I know the Madrid marathon is in April, now I'll have to look into triathlons too...

One-way

I finally bought my ticket!! A one-way ticket to Madrid- guess I better actually start looking for a place to live now...
