The day has finally come where I am able to study abroad for a second time in my college years. I traveled to London and Paris last year, and on Saturday I will be boarding a plane heading to Spain where I’ll explore Madrid and Barcelona.

First Day Doesn’t Go As Planned As Missed Flight Causes Delay
For most of us, the journey began on Friday morning (Indiana time), and ended on Sunday Morning (China time). There were a few bumps along the way, but we all made it in one piece and with most of our belongings – I left my newly purchased iPod on the third flight of our trip.
