I'm here!

So I've actually made it now and I have to say the whole time on the bus ride (that I was awake anyways) from Madrid to Caceres I was really excited and then as we finally pulled into the spot where all our families were waiting for us, and they stood there waving to us with huge smiles on their faces, I panicked. I suddenly realized that I was going to have to speak entirely in Spanish for the rest of the night and the next morning and then the whole day and then for the next months and then for the next four months after that, and in that moment that feat seemed entirely impossible. Now having slept on it for a night it seems a little bit more acceptable, though i still don't understand a single thing that most people are saying ( in particular my host padre who doesn't enunciate very well at all) but I think I already feel like it is getting better.
Anyways I have to go get ready to do program things so until later, wish me luck!
