Hola! As of today I am officially in Spain for 39 more days! I do have some mixed feelings, but mostly, I just can't wait to go home. It's going to be a VERY special holiday season this year!
Things I'm looking forward to in coming back to the US:
1. Normal/large coffee servings. For real.
2. Fresh air (everyone smokes here in Spain!)
3. Hearing my name pronounced the way it's supposed to! (Although I'm starting to respond to "Hah-lay"... I hope this doesn't become a problem!)
4. Cooking my own food
5. Also, baking!!!
6. Sticking with the food topic... I'm looking forward to regular (refrigerated) milk! Spanish milk just isn't the same, and I haven't had a glass since the first week I got here. (Which is saying something!)
7. Reuniting with my amazing friends and family. Os he echado mucho de menos. Being away from everyone makes me realize how important you all are in my life.
8. Being a part of orchestra again!
9. Playing with my cats
10. Luis :)
Things I will miss:
1. The shopping
2. Just the street atmosphere in general. Walking around. It's so fun to window shop/explore on my way to class!
3. The metro system (So, so, so easy to use and so convenient!)
4. The abundance of cute cafes
5. Hearing and speaking Spanish everywhere
6. Príncipe cookies... yum.
7. My Spanish classes: I have some wonderful professors here and I have learned so much more than I ever expected.
8. Being able to hop on a bus and go visit a city with a completely different culture, landscape and atmosphere. Spain truly is a mosaic of cultures, and traveling here has been an awesome experience!
That's it for now! I'm currently trying to fight sleep and get through a very long and complicated Colombian novel for class discussion tomorrow!! Miss you all! Ciao ~
