I started out this week with my History of Art exam. The exam was oral, so the professor had to talk with each student individually and it took forever. I was in the middle of the group and had to wait almost four hours. It was really easy though and I got an 8 (A-) in the class, so I was really happy about that.
The rest of the week has just been packing, hanging out with friends, saying goodbyes and preparing myself to come home. I'm really excited to come home, but I'm a little nervous. I'm definitely not excited for the whole 18 hours of travel. I hate flying and airports, and I'm going to have to lug around my two almost 50lb suitcases, my backpack and a messenger bag.
It's definitely going to be really different once I get home. I've developed a routine here. I have certain restaurants I go to, I have certain brands that I prefer when I go buy something at the supermarket, and I can either walk everywhere or take the bus. After tomorrow, that's all gone. I will have to re-adjust to the US, driving everywhere, being able to speak in English everywhere, and things like going to restaurants and supermarkets are going to feel completely strange for a while.
Studying abroad has been an incredible experience. I met some wonderful people, I learned a ton about Spanish and about myself, and overall, I'm very happy with my experience here. At this point, I'm not sure that I'll miss the city itself, because the big city is definitely not the place for me, but I will miss the friends I've made here. Luckily three of my friends here go to my CMU with me.
I fly out tomorrow night at 9pm and should arrive in TC around 3pm on Sunday. I will do a quick update when I get back! Thanks for reading this for six months! Chau!
