News of the best possible sort

So yesterday I mentioned that my application to study abroad at the Universidad de Deusto en Bilbao, Espana was pending approval. Well, as of today, that is no longer true. I have been accepted to study abroad from September to December of 2008 at the Universidad de Deusto. Bilbao is in northern Spain and is home to the Guggenheim Museum as well as many other beautiful buildings including several gorgeous churches, which I intend on visiting. Also, included among Bilbao's sister cities are Pittsburgh, PA in the U.S.
My classes in Bilbao will start on September 2 and go until December 12. So I'll be gone by Labor Day weekend. I'm going to be taking four or five classes focusing in Spanish Language and Culture. Apparently, the climate is relatively temperate and this is not a place with winters like ours; their average temperature in December is 10 degrees Celsius. So umm...I'll be leaving my winter coat in Michigan, thank you very much.
I'm so excited!
