So, here I am, simaltaneously counting down the days until I leave and counting down the days I have left. Its a weird little place I am in, resting comfortably in my Spain, getting ready to leave it for my real mom, America.
I study now, a lot, the finals crashing in on me like a surging wave during a thunderstorm of confusion, chaos, and complete emotional indemnity. Alas, I must carry on, studying the literature, art, language, and culture of a nation I have grown to love, appreciate, hate, despise, admire, and know in the past three and a half months. I hope to post more later, but now I am off, to write an essay on Garcia Lorca, a hometown hero of Granada, a poet killed in the Spanish Civil War, and now, the author of the only play I have ever read completely in Spanish.
Sending my love, and getting ready to see everyone soon,
Love
me

Hey zaika
Just wanted to say "hi" and wish you good luck on your finals.
Love you and miss you a lot!
yea it must be distracting to get any studinng in with all these conflicting feelings. but try to focus, there's nothing to resolve, you're both happy to be coming home and a little sad to leave... or at least you know you will be a little sad after you've left. but you'll be back so it's ok. and hey, pretty soon we'll be neighbors practically! anyway, before then, i just can't wait to come home and spend a whole week there. i was counting down but realized that the last three weeks were kind of long, and since i have three more before home, the count down will start later. i got my tickets though! to milwaukee:) ok, love you, miss you, good luck on exams!
hey! why no posts for so long? studying hard? i should be, apparently this test we all have to take in january is kind of a big deal... anyway, mama said some people from you program are so homesick they're changing their flights! so at least you're not the only one who's ready to come home already. so soon!! love you, good luck on whatever's left of your exams and see you soon!
