My bags are packed. My heart is full. It’s my last day abroad in Salamanca. I woke up this morning and met the two friends I missed yesterday for cupcakes and tea to say goodbye. One of them gave me the sweater off of her back before I left and I will cherish it, not…

As the title suggests, today was entirely devoted to goodbyes, or what I hope are “hasta luegos.” I had my last class where we did a scavenger hunt in groups around the city. There was a gray, misty haze over Salamanca all day, but I kind of liked the way it made everything look sleepy…

As I mentioned yesterday, today is a Spanish holiday so I didn’t have class! It started as every holiday here has: with lots of people in the apartment making lots of noise and not caring at all if people are still sleeping. That’s one thing that seems to be different about this culture, at least…

I’ve spent twenty-two years in Texas and only three and a half months in Spain. I don’t know how anyone expects people to learn everything they’re supposed to in that amount of time, or if anyone actually does. How could that ever be enough time to learn everything I want to know? I want a…

Today literally feels like one big whirlwind of chaos that didn’t end. That’s extremely dramatic, but maybe it’ll give you an idea of where my head is right now (I got like one hour less of sleep last night and didn’t have a siesta, wow). Anyway, classes were terrible today because all of my professors…
