The experience of a lifetime :)


The best four months of my life are coming to a close and I am finding it very hard to believe.  Within the last four months I have traveled to London, Dublin, Madrid, Barcelona, Florence, Sevilla, Ronda, Toledo, Cordoba, Segovia, Nerja and Cadiz.  Also, I have made new friends from all over the world.  The past two weeks in Granada have been by far been the best two.  While finals were not exactly enjoyable, I spent more time with my host family and my friends exploring Granada and enjoying the Spanish life style.  In true Spanish fashion last Saturday night my friends and I danced all night long till the club shut down at 7 am.  It was by far the best night in Granada.  Last night we had our goodbye dinner for our program and I owe so much to my program directors Mark and Maria, they make this program incredible and it would be impossible to imagine without them.  Similarly, I got so lucky with all of the members of my program; it is incredible how close you can get to someone when you are living in a foreign country having new experiences every day together.  I am happy to say that I know some day I will be returning to Granada as I could not imagine never walking down these streets again.  It truly has become my second home and I am not looking forward to leaving it in 5 hours.  I will be back in the US tomorrow, the 22nd at 4 pm and I am having the hardest time with the realization that I wont be returning to my host family and my friends here for a very long time.  The decision to study abroad was by far the best decision I have made in my life and I will forever value this incredible, breathtaking, phenomenal experience that I have had.  See you all shortly :)
