I've tried to block out this subject, but the fact remains that my time in Madrid is coming to an end way faster than I would like it to.
I'm not going to get too mushy yet because I still have two weeks left but the tears are starting to form. Life in Madrid is almost unrealistic. I mean I don't have to work. I have relatively little homework because much of my learning is outside of the classroom. I live with 7 fun girls who make me laugh not worrying about rent or bills. I can walk down the street to see sights that are older than civilization in America.
So how do I adapt to the life I had before I came to Spain? That is the question thats been crossing my mind often these days. Don't get me wrong I'm excited to come home to my family and friends, but Huntington life just seems so boring. I honestly don't know if I can slip back into my rountine of work, school repeat mode. I have caught the traveling bug and don't know if I will recover. Living here has given me this rush to see everything around the world. Each person I meet has their own intricate and fascinating story to tell that my previous life just seems so bland.
How do you go back to black and white once you've viewed the world of color? That my friends I'm trying and will have to find out. But on a lighter note I want to thank this wonderful city for letting me prance its streets, my aunt who pushed me to do this program, and the people I've met along the way. Luckily I get to end my excursion with a 3 week backpacking trip where I'll no longer have an apartment, internet access, amongst other luxuries. Just myself, my packpack and my Eurorail pass. So far I plan on hitting mainly beaches. I'll keep you posted on my thought process during the next two weeks. By May 13th I'll definitley be an emotional wreck, but appreciative nonetheless.
Here's the Beatles with "Looking Through You":
Really fitting for how I feel right now
