Ramblin' Man

Prague is 5 hours with some really really great people! About to have an unforgettable experience in an unbelievable city! I'm out until Tuesday.

Countdowns!

Two days -> Prague with my girls!

Ten days -> The Dreamers leave :(

Twelve days -> ZP gets into Barca!!!!!!

Fourteen days -> MY 23rd BDAY. yikes.

Twenty-four days -> Back to Wisco! bittersweet.

Finally Recieved My Package!

Finally after much trial and tribulation I have received my package! It arrived here on July 8th and took 13 days to get from Madrid to Bellaterra. I miss customer service sooooooo much. The woman I was contacting at UPS Espana about my package sent me an automated response when I emailed her that she would be out of the office until August 16th...thank you for the heads up. That's so standard here in Spain and Europe in general. Everyone leaves for three-four weeks in the summer for "holiday." I'm really thinking we should have something like this is the states!!

On a lighter note...I just took a spinning class at the gym all in Spanish. So ridiculous! It was so much fun. But its making me even more excited to come home...EVERYTHING IN ENGLISH!!

One of the clubs we went to

This was a club in a legitimate castle! Called La Terrazza! It was amazing.

Two weeks left with the dreamers!

My program is over in less than two weeks, meaning that all the Dreamers are leaving me!! Although I have two weeks of traveling with Zach to look forward to I am really sad that my program is ending so soon. I feel like it took about 4 weeks with everyone to really get settled in and make really strong, long lasting friendship....giving us only another 4 weeks before leaving. So the next 12 days are literally going to have to be packed with time with friends, last minute tours and travels and lots and lots of time spent in the city! I'm going to try and hold off on the sadness until August 1st but its hard when you are watching time slip through your fingers.

This weekend I am going to Prague with my six closest girl friends, another group of four awesome girls and two of the guys! The girls that I'm going with are Margo (obv), Julia, Theresa, Susie and Gina. Its going to be so much fun. All of us Dreamers are on the same Saturday morning flight...it most likely be completely ridiculous! We are staying at a really nice hostel and we don't really have much planned out...but I'm not concerned because somehow we always manage to have the best time ever, no matter what we're doing. Like this weekend Margo and I missed the weekend trip to Costa Brava (don't ask) but we ended up having SUCH a great, completely ridiculous time just hanging out at Bellaterra and in the city. I guess that's really what it means to just go with the flow and make the best of every situation.

So that's that for a some introspective thoughts about my situation and my time left here. Back to work.

Pamplona - Running of the Bulls!

Copy and paste this post and watch the entire thing. This is what some of my friends here did this weekend! Insane. It was the first time in 15 years that someone has died from running with the bulls....although each year many many people are hospitalized!

All my friends are fine save for a few bruises and a hoof print on one of my friend's backs!
