Well another week has passed and I have gotten nothing done but studying. This week was midterms...what we all love in the US has become a torture device in Spain as well only now it's all in a foreign language literally. And I thought that I was going to have to strangle the professor of my Astronomy class last year for the difficulty level. No actually really the tests were easier than they should have been and than I was expecting them to be in reality. I studied and only studied all week and now I cannot wait for the 4 day weekend that is just beginning to relax and enjoy the sun at the beach as this might be the last weekend that we are able to sit out on the beach and enjoy the warmth of both the air and the sun.
I am very happy to report that mom and I have stopped SKYPE-ing every day. This may not sound as if it is such a great thing but really I promise you it is. I have never realized how much I talk to mom until I thought about how much time I spend talking to her on SKYPE a week and then I was like oh yeah maybe that cord needs to be cut a little bit. That doesn't mean I don't really love talking about her nor does it mean that I don't need her it just means that I am working on becoming the independent young woman that she has raised me to be and that I need to become for myself.
I have yet to post any pictures on here so I will be getting up a few in the next few days so that people who don't use facebook but do read my blog entries can see where I'm at and what's going on...or at least a little bit of it. However the pictures honestly cannot do justice at all to the beauty of the amazing scenery that God has created in this country.
Also to any of you that are younger and are at the age where studying abroad maybe an option...I would honestly suggest it. I know that it can be expensive but the loans and such are going to be so worth the experience that you will have. I have learned so much about myself as well as about another language and culture. Life is so different here and because of that life will never be the same at home either. The friends I have made and the family that I live with will always have a place in my heart. I will never forget the memories I have made while I have been here and I am glad because it is going to definitely a part of what makes me who I am.
So other than my new thoughts I have come up with and the midterms week being over there is nothing else to report so I will sign off with the promise of more Spam from Spain to come.
