Here are some of the things that helped me when I spent the summer in Paris (tips from others):
1)Buy LOTS of film before you go. It is mucho expensive in Europe. (Same goes for female unmentionables, too.)
2)Request plenty of Euros from your bank before you arrive so you don't waste money on exhange fees.
3)make copies of ALL your travel documents before you go and leave a copy at home and keep another copy with you.
4)Buy a hairdryer in Spain. Don't bother with converters for them, since they run on high voltage. Travel hairdryers also are the pits. You can get one over therefor 20-30 euros. (maybe split it with a roommate)
5)Buy lots of different gtravel guides for Spain and where you might travel. It can be difficult and expensive to find good, English ones in Europe.
6)Take a thick journal and committ to write in it every couple of days. Also, do a mass email every week or so to all friends and family to let them know how you're doing.
