So, I will soon begin a tireless, excrutiatingly dull description of my mild adventures in London and Amsterdam, but I will begin with the end. My return.
It was weird, is weird, coming home to Spain, something mildly comforting in knowing the streets, having a real, non pod bed, knowing prices, places, and the weather. And yet, so excruciatingly difficult to return to a naition with a language that I have been struggling to learn, and to return to a nation that is simaltaneously my home, and yet not.
Returning from London was both nice...things are cheaper! its sunnier! I know my way around! But also just reminded me of how long and far away my true home is. SPANISH! Spanish! Spanish! You´re not my real mom! You dress tacky! Where is the GOOD BIG MUGS OF COFFEE!!!!????
Needless to say, I am back, disoriented, confused, exausted, excited. And still, missing home more than ever.
I love you all, miss you all.
Love,
Me

Hey zaika
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND MISS YOU LOTS AND LOTS!!!!!
But we all knew that your Spanish mom is not really your mom, and she is just a person who takes care of your room and board so this is all you should expect of her. And it's definitely not her fault that she dresses Spanish and speaks neither English, nor Russian. And besides, your own mom may appear better long-distance. Although her impeccable taste in clothes is hard to question, she may still have some little imperfections that may become more obvious on close examination upon return home.
I know Zaika you are getting homesick. And I know that all things strange and foreign do get old. But think about it this way - you've already been there for 9 weeks by now, and you only have 7 weeks to go, and 2 of them will be spent with us. And, besides, your homesickness is probably compounded by the fact that you are returning back (not really home) from a fun vacation, which is always hard to do. And trust me you don't really miss much here (except for us maybe).
And also I assure you that this experience will be something you'll have fun remembering for very long time.
I can’t wait to see you and give you a hug and a kiss!
It seems like a very long time for us since you left, but it is longer for you. Of course, novelty is fading away, but you still can look forward to some events. Anyho, you came to granada to study, adventures are optional. But you know it already, and, so far, you have a better time than us here. I hope so. Again , if you need something, get it,and if you did not get something , than it is just because you cannot get everything. You'll get it next time. I mean that alt market in London and, probably, other things you thinking about. I don,t know if it makes any sense what I write. I hope you enjoy your stay and trips, and I hope you'll do more soon! And look forward to new mail ! LOve you very much, Papski
