Last day of class

Wow! Just a few more days and I will be heading back to the States. It's crazy to think that almost 6 weeks have passed since I first stepped foot in Madrid. Also, I should insert here a special "happy fourth of July" to all my friends back in the States. It's weird not spending the Fourth in the US but the Fourth has always been a hit or miss holiday in our family. We are usually traveling around the country-and a few times we have been in areas that don't have fireworks. Tonight though we are having a barbeque with my host parents so that should be a lot of fun!

This week has been rather stressful. The last day of class was today so I was busy writing two essays, a presentation, studying for an exam and finishing up some last minute homework. As stressful as it was, I think that everything turned out just fine. I actually loved going to class here-it was such a different experience from going to classes in Purdue. The art class over the Prado was by far one of my favorites with the exception of my professor for Civilization.

After class I took my siesta and then started packing up to head back to the States. We are going to Granada for the weekend so I need to have everything ready for when I get back. Hopefully my suitcase is still underweight...we shall see! Tomorrow is our goodbye lunch at a local restaurant and then Granada on Friday!

Hasta luego
