"I'll look back on this and smile because it was life and I decided to live it"
16 weeks, 8 countries, 18 cities, 19 airplanes, a million bus/train/metro rides, and a lifetime of memories. Well, I'm back in the States, and officially functioning on the Eastern Time Zone again. I can't even begin to describe this past semester in full, and how I feel about leaving. So let's talk about what I did before I left instead.
I think my last update left off right before finals week, and my last week with my host family. I somehow managed to survive all 6 final projects, but finishing classes was not even the most exciting thing that happened. Emily came to visit me on Tuesday, and I got to show her all of my favorite Barcelona spots! We went to Park Guell, Park de la Ciutadella, the Gothic Quarter, the beach of course, and the bunkers (which I had actually never been to before but are now on the list of my favorite places).
