pensamientos de españa

I have been thinking a lot the past couple of days about how much I have learned here and how much I miss home. I absolutely love it here. I love the culture and the language and most of the food but I miss being able to make my own food, to-go coffee, and hanging out with my family and friends. I have learned so much here about myself, Spanish, and how much I actually talk to my family. I realized that before I came here, I talked to my family so much through texts, phone calls, and in person. Now if I have a question or funny story, I have to write it down and attempt to find it when I Skype them about once or twice a week. I have been counting down the days (20) and weeks (3) until I get to come home and hang out with my family. I know for a fact that I am gonna miss being here and having Spanish be a part of my everyday life. And I know I am going to miss my host mom a lot! But I also know that I am gonna be so happy to be home and be able to work (cause I actually miss working a ton!) and be able to hang out with my friends and family. I miss you all so much and I can't wait to see you again! Especially Mom, Dad, Amanda, Andrea, Mike and yes... Trevor (I know you aren't technically a part of the family, but you know.... oh well.). OH! And of course Sammy and Bosco! I hope you all have a great couple of weeks and I can't wait to see you! LOVE
