My parents, grandparents, and family friends have all told me at one time or another that time flies. This semester was the first time that I really feel like I understand what they meant.
About four months ago I was packing my suitcases for my Semester in Spain, and I remember thinking how far away December felt, I mean, it was only the middle of August! Once I got here to Sevilla, I had the same feeling......it felt like the semester was never going to end.
This time that I have had here has been challenging, exciting, adventurous, and so incredibly fun. I have travelled to amazing new places, and I was so fortunate to be able to spend time with my Uncle Pat and cousins in London.
As I was walking to the coffee shop (where Christina and I have become regulars :)!!) I was reflecting on how beautiful the walk from my house is in the morning, and how I am so thankful for the beautiful sunrise that God creates every morning. I don´t think that I will fully appreciate the time I have had here until I am at home and I can´t just walk to Las Palomas and get a triangulo, or go to the chucheria for a 1 euro bag of chuches.
The goodbyes have already started, first with 2 students, Daniel and Kara, that left on wednesday, and today Christina and I said goodbye to our baristas at our morning coffee shop. Luckily, most of us students are on the group flight back to Chicago tomorrow so we will be stuck on a plane together for a while tomorrow and we won´t have to say goodbye right away :).
I´ll never forget this experience, or the people that I got to experience it with.
