I am starting to get really home sick and I am really ready to be home. We have gotten to go do and see everything that we wanted to and more while we have been here. It has been an awesome trip...
But now I am so ready to see my man Benjamin and to see my family. These last few days are going to take forever because I am so anxious to be home.
Thursday night we went to the Malagueta beach for the San Juan festival around 8PM and stayed till 1AM. It was a lot of fun. We just sat and talked with friends on the beach and there was a free concert there too. The free concert was Carlos Baute, a Spanish singer. He was actually really good and it was really cool to get to see a live Spanish concert. We didn't stay too late because there were a lot of drunken people and we got really tired haha. At midnight everyone goes for a swim in the ocean as a tradition to "cleanse their spirit". We ended up just wading in up to our knees. It was really cool to be here for such a huge event.
Friday we pretty much sat around all day and relaxed and got some of our stuff packed. We are trying to pack little by little so that Tuesday we aren't overwhelmed.
Last night we had paella and fried bread for dinner. It was delicious.. I'm going to really miss the food here!
This morning we got to sleep in which was really nice. We got up and had toast and then Carmen made us churros con chocolate too. It was delicious! I have really been wanting to try churros while we are here and I love them!
Today we are going to relax for most of the day, study for our finals, and go to the beach for the last time :( . Tomorrow we have school as usual and then Tuesday we have our finals. I am sort of nervous for them because we are going to take the final for the class higher than ours.. but I know that I will do fine. After our finals on Tuesday we will come home from school and finish our last minute packing and then we have to go meet everyone to get on the bus to take us to the airport in Madrid at 8PM. We will be on the bus for 7 hours through the night and will get to the airport around 3AM because other people in our group have to be there that early for their flight. Lauren and I don't fly out until noon on Wednesday. I am really not looking forward to our 9 hour wait at the airport followed by 3 insane flights. It is going to be a rough day. Even though it is going to suck to be either in an airport or on a plane for 24 hours straight, in the end we will be home!!!
I am really going to miss some of our friends that we have made here. I hope to stay in touch with most of them. It's going to be really hard because we all are spread across the United States, but we will keep in touch through facebook. I am also going to miss Carmen. She has been so amazing and has taken such good care of us. We couldn't have asked for a better hostess!
Well really need to get some studying done.
Abrazos y Besos
