From Thanksgiving to Christmas time was filled with many trips to the bars and goodbye parties as many of the erasmus (exchange students) were only staying a semester. It was very sad so see so many of my friends go, I had become very close with many of them in such a short time and they have imprinted on my heart. It is crazy how close the erasmus family seems to be. It really feels like an actual family that we have here and I am constantly learning something new about my "family" and the different cultures.
My trip back to the US was a nice 3 week refresher. I got to eat at almost all my favorite restaurants and seeing all my family and friends was really nice. It was cool to be home for a while but after about 2 weeks I was ready to be going back to Spain. There was just a lot of drama back home that was just annoying and frustrating to deal with. Some of my friends had changed and not for the better. It kinda sucked to be gone for 4 months and come back and people that you thought were your close friends had completely changed and let their priorities get out of line, almost like you don't have things in common any more. This made me sad and worried what it was going to be like when I came back home for good. Would the changes about myself and the people back home clash so much that we wouldn't have things in common anymore. Well I guess we will just have to wait and see. No use worrying over something I can't control :D
When I came back to Spain I must have caught something in between Dallas and Madrid because by the time I arrived in Murcia I was deathly sick! For about 3 days I didn't leave the house and had no appetite! It was the absolute worst! I also developed a double ear infection in this week and ended up having to go to the doctor and get antibiotics for a week which was a God sent because they made me feel a million jillion times better!! This sickness also could not have come at a worse time because I had final exams in a week.
My exams were not so bad, I studied my butt off for a week and a half and I think I did pretty good. However, I wont know my grades for a while because let's face it, it's Spain and they take forever and a day to do anything lol Hopefully (keeping my fingers crossed) that I did well!
