Howdy..I will be embarking on a different type of adventure tomorrow...MOUTH SURGERY!! I am quite nervous about the whole needle/anesthesia thing. The surgery part I think I'm okay with but I get the heeby-jeebies just thinkin about a needle in my arm. The last time I had mouth surgery, I woke up bawling and in a lot of pain (that is the way of wisdom teeth extractions I am told). The doctors told me this wouldn't be so bad so I'm hoping they are right. All I want is a beautiful smile before I go to Spain in the Spring. So this is just one more of my many preparations for ESPANAAAA!!!!
Stay tuned...maybe I'll right a morphine-filled post tomorrow!! Wish me luck and send your prayers my way!

Fall and Football Fun!!
Howdy!
Since telling people that I am going to Spain (hopefully) in my Spring semester, I have been asked numerous times why in the Spring and why a whole semester?! Aren't I gonna miss my friends and family? Aren't I going to miss my beautiful Texas A&M campus? Well, one of the main reasons I'm choosing to go to Spain in the Spring semester is I WOULD RATHER GET DIVEBOMBED BY BIRDS (which is a big deal if you know me..I'm kinda terrified of them) than miss my Aggie boys playin some football in the SEC...WHOOP!!!!!
My Mom, Dad, and sister Zari all come up for a few games each year so I am pumped that I won't miss that! Even though my Dad is a die-hard Nebraska Corn-Husker, he wears his Aggie shirt and hats with pride and my Mom and sis do too! And of course I love my school and team so I wouldn't miss football season for the world! Especially since I LOVE FOOTBALL so very much!! My other favorite part about our football season is the traditions my school has that no other university can boast of! We have Maroon Out and Elephant Walk, Ring Days and dunks, and not too mention the best lookin' Yell Leaders leading the whole football stadium in our War Hymn, Spirit of Aggieland song, and different yells! Its the best part of being an Aggie in my book!
Daddy, honorary-sister Kelsey, Zari, me, Spain sister Leti, and Mommy
The other thing I love about the fall semester is when the colors change and the weather gets chillier in Texas! I love that I can smell colder weather and feel the changes in the breezes. This is the time of year where people start putting long sleeve shirts, cute boots, and tights on and I know that my colder clothes are my favorite! Its my favorite season and I know I would miss it too very much if I were gone. Not to mention my family goes camping every year with our best family friends and its a tradition I don't want to miss!
So as much as I love seeing the wildflowers grow on the side of the Texas highways , the big blue Spring skies, and seeing everyone start to lay out around campus and get the first rays of the summer sun...I think Spain is calling my name!
Until next time!!!

Oh, The Places I'll Go!!!
Howdy! My name is Mackenzy a.k.a. Mac, Kenzy, Big Mac, Lil' Mac or anything of the sorts. I am a junior communications major and tourism minor from McAllen, Texas but more importantly I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2014 (A-A-A-WHOOP!)
As some people know, I've been hoping and praying to study abroad in my Spring 13' semester WHICH IS FAST APPROACHING and I am so excited to say it is all coming together as planned! I am hoping to study in Granada, Spain and while there see what else I can see abroad! It has always been my dream to travel and experience new places and I can't believe it just might come true!
I am hoping this blog will keep not only my friends and family updated on my many adventures (hopefully!), but also serve as an aid to help others travel and a site to see what readers can experience as well. My ultimate dream job is have my own travel show for young people and I think this is a great way to get started!
So bear with me as I:
1.) Try to figure this whole blog thing out!
2.) Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
3.) Experience life at its fullest!
If you have any hints or suggestions feel free to let me know (I am terrible at technology so I need all the help I can get!)! I will try to stay up to date with my plans and preparations, if y'all promise to keep reading!
God Bless,
Mackenzy :)
