Oh Juan Pagola... what will bcome of me without your Ethics and Mediums of Communication class?... 1 class down, 4 more to go! This will be a busy weekend because everything is due next week... and then we are all done... ordinairily I would be celebrating the end of the semester, (and don't get me wrong, it will be lovely to see everyone at home) but I can't help but feel sad and shocked that I am almost finished with the best semester of my life... I love it here... love it love it love it. In my mind I am just going ahead and telling myself that I am coming back here some day soon, and I hope that will be the case, but even if I do come back, it will be a little different... not a bad thing, but just different. I don't like the idea that new people will be living in our sweet parte vieja apartment in a couple of weeks. Just like the beach house my family use to rent once a year, it's just more fun to pretend it's your own, and not just yours for a little while. Because it feels like home.
Tonight my friends and I are going to a school activities-sponsored dinner at a Sidrería (spelling?)... a restaurant where they presumably make and serve a lot of sidra, a local drink which varies from tasting like sparkling apple juice to salty juice made from squished olives... maybe the most disagreable thing I have ever put in my mouth... And after that we are going out out out :o) Sadly, I completely failed on Becca's 21st b-day night, and was in bed sleeping like a rock by 1:30 AM, knocked out by a combo of too much traveling in Italy and too much birthday cake before heading out. I might have lasted longer had we not stopped back at our apartment after two bars to use the bathroom (ahhhh the glories of living on Fermin Kalbetón), at which point I decided (fully clothed) that my bed looked awfully comfortable, lay down, and that was that... ´´colorín colorado, este cuento se ha acabado.`` (anyone, anyone?)-- (silly little ending to Spanish children's stories that pretty much is meaningless but rhymes so ´´vale, vale.``) ok... time to go! :o) ˇadios, mis amores!
