The Final Countdown

Part two of my late update of the past two weeks: I cannot believe this is my last week in Barcelona. I'm completely in denial. How has it been six weeks already???? I have two final exams left (one Wednesday and one Thursday) then that's it. I'm leaving Barcelona and taking a train to Madrid …

Super Tourists

I haven't had a chance to blog since my last post about Amsterdam I'll have to split this update into two separate posts to fit everything in. So, I'll start off with two weeks ago (weekend of July 1-3) when I finally got the chance to relax and spend some time in Barcelona that didn't involve …

The First Week

Okay, maybe not months, but definitely enough time to drain my bank account, gain 20 pounds from croquettas and patates bravas, and walk at least 50 miles total back and forth …

¡Súper Preparada¡

So I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that in four days I’m going to get on a plane, fly to another continent and live there for seven weeks. Four. Days. I don’t think it will really sink in until I actually step off the plane in Barcelona this Friday…and honestly probably not even then …
