All good things must come to an end...




So I am a short 48 hours from starting my travels toward home. I miss my family, my friends, Chris and a couple other aspects of home. But currently, I am a little sad. I wish they could all just pack up and come to me, instead of me packing up and going back home. I really love it here. I love the culture, and the way of life. It's so awesome. I love being able to speak Spanish and being understood. I have had no problem with language barriers since I have been here and have been told by many natives that I speak Spanish really well. Which makes me really proud of myself, because I have worked really hard on my Spanish for the past 10 years. But like I said I wish my parents and everyone could just come and live in Spain with me but instead I will be traveling back to Chicago. I am taking a 5 hour bus ride from Bilbao to Madrid airport. Then a flight from Madrid to Dublin which is two hours and a flight Dublin to Chicago which is 8 hours. I will be literally traveling all day but it's worth it to see my family and Chris. I've had a great time here in Bilbao. I did exactly what I came to do and that was to keep improving my Spanish and work hard in school. I did just those things and had a lot of fun a long the way. Finals went really well today and tonight I will be receiving my grades and transcripts where we will be having a little ceremony then drinks after. Then it's time to get ready and fly home. After these past 5 weeks, I would really like to come back to Spain. Maybe go to other parts that I haven't visited yet but I do know that matter what I want to come back. It's just been an amazing trip and a wonderful experience. I only have but happy memories for these past 5 weeks. But Bilbao was great, it's not goodbye it's just see you later.
