Today is my last day here in Spain and I cannot even believe that 5 weeks has gone by as fast as it did. The memories and friends I've made I will remember forever. What an experience this has been. We all got on a plane not knowing one another, not knowing what we were going to be doing or who we were living with but now leaving just feels so unnatural. We all have become so close with one another and we have bonded over this amazing experience and It's going to be weird on Monday waking up and driving to work rather than taking a bus. Or not having to think about what I'm trying to say in Spanish. It's going to be different and I am not ready for it. I am not at all close to being ready to leave Spain. I love it here and one day maybe I will even live here. I am dreading going back so much I have a feeling the flight attendants are going to have to be like "ma'am it's time for you to get off the plane now" and I'll just be sitting there crying like "no don't make me enter the U.S." I wish my time here could have been longer but when you really think about it, we got a lot done in 5 weeks. Barcelona, Sevilla, touring all of Granada and Santa Fe, Almuñecar, and so many other places. We really took advantage of this opportunity and got the most out of it in my opinion.
Today I made the shirts for everyone and It was a good last day activity. The pomegranate seeds took me 3 hours to trace out but It's fine because in the end the shirts turned out really good. Everyone at work was so sad I was leaving. They were all telling me how I was now one of their friends and how they will really miss me and they gave me their email to keep in touch haha. I even got a mug as a souvenir. Suzanne (who I have been working with) I think was the most upset. This whole time while I've been trying to learn Spanish she has been trying to learn some english so communicating would be better. Today, she asked again how long I was in Spain and I told her only 5 weeks and she was amazed at how far my Spanish has come she said she thought I had been here 3 or 4 months. She even said, and I quote, that "I was her best PP" haha I'm not sure what that means exactly but I think she meant something along the lines of best worker or person or something but it was really funny because she called me a PP.
This is so weird thinking this is my last blog post and last day and It's actually just hitting me now that I'm leaving. We will all definitely have to get together again at some point.
I wish everyone a safe flight!
Patatas!
