1 week remains!!!

I wish I had the capacity to explain the way I feel at the moment. In about 6 days exactly, I will be boarding a plane to make my trip across the North Atlantic Ocean and over to Europe,Spain,Castilla La Mancha, Almansa! haha! I am excited, but at the same time I am a little freaked out.

This summer has been hectic with the surgeries and I'm just hoping that I don't deal with any complications while abroad. I am really excited to be a part of this program and to be so fortunate to experience something like this.

I will be arriving in Madrid on the 27th of September and I am going to stay with a friend of mine that I met last year. Then comes my task of finding an apartment. I am hoping that I can live alone this time. I spent 14 months in Madrid before, I had roommates, but this time I think I am ready to live alone and try to be more independent. I'll also have to focus on budgeting which really sucks!

question---Why can't I just be ballin??

So this weekend I am supposed to do something with all of my friends so that I can get the chance to say goodbye to everyone, but I am completely convinced that it is just going to be a crying session for me and I really don't want to do it!! I find that it is easier to just leave than to have to face people and say goodbye.

This has been an interesting summer I must say. I am 24 years old..which is like the weirdest age for me. I am stuck wanting my wild, crazy, young, fun-filled life while being pushed into adulthood and the complexity of finding out who I am.

The thing is..if I've learned one thing about life so far, it's that we know absolutely nothing about life. The only way to get through it is by remaining positive and hopeful. Believing in yourself and making the best out of the relationships you have with people.

I am super sad about saying goodbye to my bestiess and all the new people I've met this summer, but one thing that this experience has allowed me to realize is, who is always there and who always will be!

I'm going to miss you guys you mean the most to me and have made this summer awesome! Until next time!
