Six and a half weeks is what´s left until my journey here comes to an end, and I go back home. I leave on the 1st of July if everything goes well and am able to catch the plane on that day. Most of my friends are leaving before that, so we´re all thinking about the end now although final projects and exams are helping take our minds off of it. I´m not ready to embrace "goodbye" yet, so I´ll not talk about that until the absolute end. I´ll focus on just normal life.
Well, I have a final in El Mundo Actual, Alemán, and Bioética. I have projects in El Mundo Actual and Psychology. I finished my project for Alemán which included giving a ten minute presentation in German which was a blast being as I have taken a few months of German lessons and DEFINITELY don´t speak that complicated language, but I did fine in relation to everyone else, so now worries. As if University here isn´t keeping me busy enough, I´m in the process of applying to medical schools in teh US, and this isn´t an easy task- it´s coming slowly. I would just like to have my application submitted by June 1 or somewhere around that date, so that I can travel with Bryan and Jacob when they come.
My travel plans for Bryan and Jacob are the South of Spain: Granada, Sevilla, etc. I also want to travel out of the country once or twice: definitely Rome and maybe Paris. I am going in June with one of my housemates to France- about two hours from Bourdeaux, and I´m pretty excited about that trip.
It´s pretty crazy what happens when you put about 500 twenty-something year old students from all over the world in one city. I´ve made some truly profound friendships here in Alcalá- and in record time. There´s something about it. I´ve had many late nights that included a friend, life-conversation, and wine; and I really can´t think of a better way to unwind.
I´ve figured out how to really just enjoy whatever is thrown my way-
