You would think that a year would be enough, would be PLENTY, to be away from everything you're used to. But it's not, not really. I have friends now that are MINE, not just people who hang out with me because I'm pitiful (sorry, but it happens). I speak the language, I do things, I feel at home here. With another year, I could actually enjoy myself, actually live instead of spending half the time learning, struggling, fighting to fit in and understand and be happy. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed myself, because even in the beginning, I did. I haven't had any huge down spots. But still, it's different. And it's hard. What's a girl to do?
But all good things come to an end, and this year is no different. Anyway. Look:
My class! I asked la meva profe de tutoria if I could take a picture with my class. Everyone started applauding, hahaa...but I love all these guys (well, almost all), and I'm going to miss them a whole lot.

What else...there was Sant Jordi, which is the patron saint of Catalunya, and on that day we do a presentation at school (I read poetry, yay life) and the tradition is that the boys give the girl roses, and the girls give the boys books. Yes, books. How cool is that? So Sant Jordi is the day of the rose and the book. There were all these booths selling roses, and I found one with some insane ones...Barça themed, tie-dyed...and lots of my friends, mostly selling roses to raise money for organisations, trips, etc...and eating cake. Apparently.

Well. Don't have too much else to say, do I? I miss everyone and really really can't wait to see you all again!And now, to share a little of my day to day, Miley Cyrus! Because Iona is obsessed. And listens all the time. Although recently she's started playing "Disturbia" by Rihanna rather a lot...

Hey Little Sister,
Just spotted this post and it warmed my heart to see your photo on it. I'm glad you had a good time. Good luck on the plane trip back, hopefully your trip will be much smoother than mine was.
