The Final Countdown

How is it possible that this is my last night in Granada?? And of course I'm laying in bed unable to move. This lifestyle is seriously catching up with me and my immune system but I need to rest up tonight because tomorrow I am heading off to Madrid for the weekend! I was just looking back through my Facebook pictures AKA "back-stalking" and reminiscing on the past month. Even though it flew by I was able to do so many different things, both cultural and social. I was truly able to immerse myself into the Spanish culture and lived this past month to the fullest. I couldn't be happier.

This past week, we went to tapas with our program on Tuesday, had our farewell dinner with our Spanish families on Wednesday and went to the Sierra Nevada mountains on Thursday. Everything was amazing as usual. Spending time with the students on my program and the teachers/directors is always fun. They are truly all such different people and I loved meeting them and being able to explore the other side of the world with them. Our farewell dinner with our parents was great and we got to experience an authentic flamenco show afterwards. I am definitely going to miss my padres espanoles! They were an amazing host family and always made me feel at home. The Sierra Nevada Mountains were absolutely breathtaking. I was surrounded by the snow covered terrain and the ski resort. (Although I hate snow) I have never been to a ski resort so it was very interesting to see this one. It was like its own little village. Then today I had my last day of class with Maria Jose- one of the sweetest teachers I will ever have. I learned so much in this class in so little time and she reminded me how much I enjoy the Spanish language. Hopefully I can continue my studies during my senior year of college because I would love to be fluent one day.
