The Last Day of Classes

So this past weekend was way better than I thought it would be. In fact, it was pretty good. Here are some highlights:

1. Thursday night Pablo and I went bowling. It was super fun, and I was even a little sad to say goodbye to him. Oh, how things have changed...

2. After that Sarah and I went to check out a new ice cream place in La Alameda de Hercules. It was delicious, and we're only sad we didn't discover it earlier in the semester.

3. Friday I studied in the park with Erin, studied in the library (!) with Susanna, and went on another ice cream adventure with Sarah.

4. Saturday, I met up with friends from Taylor (Alix, Mary, and Chris), and I spent the afternoon/evening with them. I had been pretty stressed about that. But it turned out to be so much fun. And I think it was really really good for me because showing them around Sevilla helped me realize all the things that I love about this beautiful city. I really do feel pretty at home here so it was nice to share my "home" with others. Also, it was nice to hear about their semester in Ireland and hear news about Taylor people. Yay.

5. Sunday I had breakfast with Erin at a little cafe (Oh, how I love my roommate!), went to church for the last time (will I really be at First Mennonite next Sunday? Wow.) I met up with the Taylor people again and sent them on their merry way. The rest of the day was spent in studying and being lazy.

It turned out to be a good weekend. But this week is going to be crazy. Today we have our history presentation about La Guerra de Sucesion Espanola. I'm actually feeling really great about that. What I'm not feeling so great about is my exams. Today is the last official day of classes. Tomorrow I have exams in Cuentos and Art, and Wednesday is History. I have not studied nearly as much as I did for my other tests. If I was at Taylor I would be studying my brains out. But for some reason I am feeling very unmotivated here. I think I'll be okay. But I'm just so ready to be done with school.

I feel so strange. In a way I am beyond ready to come home. But it will be sad to say goodbye to Sevilla and to my friends here. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. And there is still much to do. It's going to be a CRAZY week!
