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 … Continue reading The Final Countdown
