In the throes of packing today, I realized that I did not know the Spanish word for "neuroscience." As this is an important word to know when introducing myself, I decided to look it up. However, there were very few words that I could find that accurately described my area of study. "Neurociencia," which is a relatively literal translation, was the best I could do. While it's somewhat unfortunate that I probably won't be able to properly communicate my interests within my major to people I meet in Spain, perhaps it's also a blessing. I need a break from learning about the world through neuroscience, and my semester in Córdoba will be just that. I have been looking forward to this experience for so many years, and it's hard to believe that it's finally here.
Although I'm nervous about leaving New York/Vermont, I am very ready to leave. Rafael will be here tomorrow, and we'll leave for Madrid on Thursday evening. I intend on updating this blog with pictures and noteworthy stories frequently, so please check back often!
...but for now, back to packing.
