"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss. I keep telling myself that life is about the lessons you learn and the moments that allow you to grow. This past month in Spain was amazing and probably one of the greatest things I've ever done. I would advise anyone to go in the future. I got a chance to do some things that I will never forget, share memories that will stick with me always, and have stories to tell for years to come. I'm really sad to say goodbye to my host family who I've lived with here in Spain, to my teachers, and random acquaintances whom have turned into friends. Last night, most of the study abroad group had a final dinner together. We spent the night living in the moment, having good laughs and good times before eventually ending the night at our favorite bar "La Media Pinta". I am officially retiring the nickname "Frangria" No more crazy nights full of Sangria for me! Yesterday, I also finished with my final exams and tomorrow I receive my diploma at a special ceremony for everyone at school. This weekend I'm spending most of my time packing up my room and traveling to Madrid for a final time. Less than 4 days left. Going to miss the energy that comes from the people and buildings of that city. I'm going to miss a lot of things about this country. I'm going to miss sharing a classroom with other students from all across the world, places like China, Korea, Brazil, and Canada come to mind. We all learned together and each brought something different to the table. I'm going to miss walking around in a constant state of being lost. I've learned so much by opening my mind, closing my expectations, and listening. I got the chance to see something different and I reached out and grabbed it.
¡Hasta luego!
