Well the weekend flew by as always and it was very fun. I do not believe that I will be back in the US in less than a week, I literally feel as if I just arrived. As I have been talking with my first friends I met here, we don't believe how fast the time has went by out here....it is absolutely insane. I have finished three out of my four finals, and it isn't until Thursday, which is nice since I can have tomorrow to start getting some of my stuff together. This week I have been studying a lot....well at least attempting to study a lot. It has been very difficult studying since I have been trying to see all of my friends, trying to buy souvenirs, packing..just way too much for one week. I still believe it is ridiculous that the program makes us leave our accommodations the day after finals...it really is not logical.
Since I always talk about my intercambios and how I am always meeting with them, I finally got a few photos with them. Unfortunately I only have pictures with two of them, as the other two I expected I would see again and didn't end up getting any photos with them.
This is my friend Alex and I at a restaurant/bar the other night!
This following picture is of Me and my friend Axel...
This picture is of Axel, Elana, and me ...originally there were four of us but Abbey stopped meeting with us.
These next few pictures are from dinner the other night. Apparently this is a very popular Catalan dinner. Obviously it consists of many different types of cured meats and pan con tomate. It was delicious! I definitely miss some of the food from the states, but I am definitely going to miss the excellent cooking of Anna! I don't remember the exact names of the meat in Spanish, Catalan or English but it was a great dinner!
Tonight I began packing all of my clothes except for what I will be wearing the next few days. I have a much lighter load since I have used most of my medicine, shampoo, soap, etc..so I will have some room to bring back some souvenirs, which will be nice. I am still trying to figure out my summer schedule with work and school, but I will save that until I return to the US. Tomorrow I don't have an exam so I will finish my shopping and hopefully study and have a productive day. I still don't believe that I will be home in a few days, but I'm excited to see everyone, but at the same time I really don't want to leave here. I believe my roommate Travis is staying here for a few more weeks, and I think they are going to come to an agreement for a price for a few weeks longer. IES has no responsibility for us after May 1, and apparently if the families don't have new students arriving, it is normal for students to stay longer and pay a little bit extra. I WISH that I would have known about that a few weeks ago, as I was under the impression that we literally had to leave our accommodations. I definitely would have liked to stay here for a few more weeks so I had some time to relax, but oh well....I will be back here within the next year or two...I hope.
I will post either tomorrow, or Thursday..my last night here!
Adios!
