And it's over...

Hola a todo,

Pues, no puedo creer que mi experiencia en España esté terminada. He aprendido tanto y no quiero salir. Aunque tengo ganas de ver mi familia y amigos, no me siento un sentimiento de cierre todavía. Voy a echar de menos hablar espanol! No pensaba que dijera esto haha.

Now in English

Well, I can't believe that my experience in Spain is over. I have learned so much and I don't want to leave. Even though I want to see my friends and family, I don't quite feel a sense of closure yet. I am actually going to miss speaking Spanish..I never thought I would say that! haha.

I leave tonight at 3 am. I am actually leaving! That is crazy. In a few hours we have our goodbye lunch at the Mirador de Morayma which is a really fancy restaurant. Robby and I went there when he was here, and it is super nice. I am excited. IES treats us so well. haha. I am practically done packing! I just need to do the hand luggage and then later put in my outfit that I am wearing to the lunch. Some how our room still looks really messy haha but I guess Carrie's stuff is still all over the place!

I have to admit a weird feeling I am having: There are 15 people from Penn State coming to IES Granada next semester, and I know 3 of them. I am excited for them because this is a great time, but I also have this feeling of possessive jealousy...like this is MY experience, these are MY teachers, My Javier, my Tapas bars! haha I feel like the IES people can't love us all!!! and they need to love my group of people. I know it's kinda silly but I can't help it. How can the new people have MY experience. haha oh well, I'll get over it. I know they will have a blast, and I can't wait to hear about their experiences.

On a happier note, I am DONE WITH WORK!!!!! WOOT WOOT. I am so excited to be done thinking until Jan. 12! It is an amazing feeling. No more papers, no more exams, no more anything!

Alright then, I will be home Thursday night! Speak to everyone then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Always
besos
