Spring and Spain

I'm super glad that Spring is finally here . . . it can still get a little chilly, but it's beautiful to see the flowers and the sunshine and eat outside and take walks by the river.

Today was the last official day of class before our trimester break. Our break lasts about a week and a half and the new trimester starts April 7. Tomorrow we have a little breakfast where everyone says goodbye . . . some people aren't coming back after the break. I got my final grades. Not bad.

I'm going to Spain! We're leaving Saturday. Everything totally works out, too. There's an older gentleman in our class who's got a summer house in Spain and he just happens to be driving there, and offered to give us girls a lift. I have a friend from Barcelona, who's riding along as well, and she's letting me and another girl crash at her place for free while she's vacationing elsewhere. Super awesome! I've been to Spain 3 times and still haven't been to Barcelona, which is ridiculous. Here's my chance. We're also going to spend a couple of days in Madrid . . . (sigh) brings back so many memories. Hopefully I'll get to see some old friends and former host mom. I may spend a few days in Paris on the way back, too. This is probably the last time I'll get to do any major traveling for a long time, so I'd better make the most of it!
