Tomorrow is my last day of classes here in Sevilla. These two months have flown by! I cant believe it is over. I have mixed emotions about returning to the U.S. Some days I am ready and then majority of the time I do not want to leave. I have learned a lot of different things here. Not only from my classes but from my everyday travels. When I first considered studying abroad I was scared. I knew I needed to do it but I was afraid to go to a new country with no one I knew. Once I got through the plane ride and actually settling into the culture I realized that I should have never been scared.
There are some things that I am going to miss a lot because they would never ever happen in the U.S. People parking way over the side walk(so you cant even walk on it), driving down the wrong side of a one way and my favorite stopping in the middle of a busy intersection and putting on your hazards. This is totally acceptable here. I am going to miss the fruit here, the pop and the fascination with old american music. Yesterday I heard Tom Petty and Backstreet boys. Lets just say that made my decade long walk from the school to my house a lot of fun.
But..there are a lot of things I am looking forward to for when I return. Free refills at restaurants, my car, internet, AIR CONDITIONING, a full size bed, and especially tv that I can understand. It is going to be so weird hearing english all the time. I am so used to having to plan out in my head what I am going to say so that I make sense in Spanish. I know I will do this a few times at home and then remember that English is spoken there. Haha.
Anyways, best decision of my life. There is nothing I would have changed about my experience abroad.
If you touch the golden toe it means you will return to Sevilla! BAM PROOF!
