Today I had two exams (that I totally aced! boo ya) and in my class with Andy we finished our presentations and talked about our final project. For our final project we have to create a presentation about our time here in Salamanca. He wants it to be creative and to touch at the little things that are different about our lives here. He went into this whole spiel about how we have become adapted to the culture and don't notice the small things anymore. It isn't a bad thing but he was just saying he wants us to document every little detail of our lives here because we will forget all the small things when we get home...and these are the things we will miss the most. Oh man I was trying so hard to keep the tears in. I don't know I guess I have just been feeling like I had so much time left but no! i don't!!! Ah! I was homesick for a little while but now I am not at all. I am excited to see my family but I can't believe I have to leave Salamanca. I consider it home now and when Andy was talking to us about wrapping things up I couldn't handle even thinking about it. I am glad I am traveling after because then I don't have to go staright home from Salamanca. If that was the case I think I would be a mess. This way I get to see other parts of Europe and ease the transtition from my home in Salamanca back to Michigan.
Today Rachel and I were talking about all the little things we don't notice anymore. One thing I don't even notice anymore is the buildings. The first two weeks I was in awe of where I was but now it is like "well why wouldn't there always be a big beautiful cathedral right by where I study" and "duh of course I hang out in the Plaza every night". These things have become so routine that I don't even notice it anymore but now I with so little time left I am trying to soak it all in. As Rachel said their won't be a cathedral surrounding us in the Diag. My solution to this problem was to take panoramic shots of where we study and hang out everyday so that when I am in the Diag I can pull it up and hopefully get the idea haha.
Rachel hard at work...yeah right :p
Nuestra lugar <3
We also talked about our favorite moments so far. Pretty much all of mine include her and my good friends here. Really without them this trip would not be nearly as great and leaving would be so much easier. You can enjoy a place with our friends but I think I would have been so sad and bored if I had no one to talk to. With them this adventure has been so amazing. Anyways I have decided that next week I am going to make a 3 amazing blog posts:
1. My favorite memories and moments
2. What I am going to miss
3. How I have grown from this experience.
