Esperanzas

hahah, I leave Santander for Bilbao tonight, then early tomorrow morning I fly out of Bilbao on a long trip home. Jesucristo, I can't wait!!! Here´s to hoping that I make all my flights and don't get stranded in Frankfurt or Sea-Tac. That would suck majorlly. But if all goes as planned I will be home in Portland at 3:30 pm on Friday. I'm a little bit sad to leave, but that is overshadowed by my overwhelming excitement to be home.



Adiós, Spain!

Bienvenidos a diciembre, bienvenidos a mi ultima semena en España. Today my group gave a news report in our España Actual class. This was no ordinary news show. In the middle of the weather report we all busted into a dance routine. That's what's so great about Americans. We are spontaneously and enjoy the moment like that. Actually, that's not really an American thing, per say, as I know a lot of uptight, unfun Americans who don't know how to live up every moment. I guess it's more of my thing, and a characteristic of the people I choose to surround myself with. In my life I've had a lot of opportunities where I could have been embaressed and chickened out, but I figure, you only live once and you have to enjoy every moment, so I am willing to make myself look stupid in order to have fun. Even if that means jumping up on a desk in the middle of a presentation to dance to Britney, or saying yes to the 7 foot cowboy that asked me dance in Portland...Don't even ask, or maybe you should, it's a hilarious story.

This week will be slighly arduous, simply because it's finals and I also have to worry about my loooong trip back home. I do plan on going out Wednesday night to say Adíos to Spain. I will try and make it epic.
