Hala Madrid!

Real Madrid won 3-0 tonight. That seals it. I am pleased to announce the new champions of La Liga: Real Madrid!!  The streets are exploding with cars honking and dogs barking and people shouting.  They're proud of their team, and so am I. Hala Madrid.  Champions for the 32nd time, 11 times more than any other team.

May Day Reflections

I can't believe it's already May! I only have a month left here in my position in Spain.  Like I said in my last post, I'm going to miss it here a lot.  I'm having the experience of a lifetime.

Something that crossed my mind recently was that anytime before when I met someone who had lived abroad, more than just studying abroad, I was really impressed and just enamoured by the thought of that. I thought those people were so cool! But now, guess what?! I'm one of those people!  I made a dream happen and I couldn't be happier.

This is going to be a very busy month with people coming to visit, me visiting other places, and on top of it all, preparing for my trip with Laura and coming back to the USA.  And you know what they say about what happens when you're having fun. Time flies.  I'll be home before you know it.
