First Trip since back in the USA

So being back has made me have travel fever and the first trip is in 2 weeks! I will be heading back to New York City! I am so excited. This will be my first time back since I lived there for a summer two years ago! I am excited to see my family and have my boyfriend go with. He has never been before and this will be quite an adventure for him. I hope to see the natural history museum, go by Time Inc. and say hello and show him the amazing central park and time square! O NEW YORK...I LOVE YOU!

Back and Looking for a job

I am back in the states and now the concern is job hunting. I am finishing my last semester at Oklahoma State University and looking to work in the Public Relations field in New York City in May. I have been applying like a crazy person and praying that God will open the doors to where He wants me to be. It is a pretty scary thing entering the real world in May.

back in the US of A

So I am back in the swing of things with school starting this week! its pretty crazy! I miss alot about Europe but it feels almost like it was some kind of dream! This will be my last four months of college... and then starts the real world. I am nervous but excited. I sure hope God blesses me with a job in the big city of NEW YORK! That would be a dream come true!

1 day....

So today is the big day. I leave in an hour to start my journey home. I will be leaving on a train to Madrid...arrive in Madrid late tonight and then go straight to the airport. At the airport I will wait and wait and wait...haha...Ya I will be there for awhile and then fly out mid morning! I'm stoked. It seems so surreal though. They say while studying abroad you learn things about yourself and about the world. I would definitely say that I have changed as a person for sure. I have experiences and people I have met and memories I have made that will stay with me for a life time. I know that I will miss so much about my time here. It is weird to think that I will be going home. I have looked forward to this day and thought of all the things I have missed in America but now that I am going there I dont know how to feel.

I have had a great time and look forward to what God has in store for my future! Hopefully another big adventure soon!

2 days.....

Not much to say today...I head out tomorrow evening for Madrid and then will chill at the airport and leave Saturday Morning! CRAZY! It has been a blast though...

Here is a small taste of what my last amount of time in Barcelona is looking like....

3 Days...

So this is really the end of the third day but it was a sad one. I said goodbye to a lot of great friends and really realized that I have been away from home for 3 1/2 months and really studied abroad....the concept seems so strange. Three more days and I will be back home and life will go on as normal and how it has since I have been gone. The evening ended with shopping with Marcela and Nora and getting last minute presents for people and then meeting Calvin, Allison, her sister and Lacey for dinner. We ate at a Lebanese Restaurant and had 3 bottles of Spanish wine. We laughed about all the great times we had had together. It was the perfect way to say goodbye but so sad! At least Nora and I have one more day together!

Interesting thing for today....
These are the little mail boxes. They are all over the place and you drop your letters off in the box. Nora has an obsession with these! haha! I just thought they were neat because they look so different!

4 Days...

Today was my last day of the semester. I took an International Business final and an Architecture of Barcelona final. I think I did really well and I found out that I passed my Spanish Class so that was exciting. All of grades are pass/fail here! Now I am just super tired and about to start the second half of my week. This half will be saying goodbye to everyone and packing and then the last two days are travel travel travel.

Interesting Thing for today....


The sign above is from a bar from right down the street. Here everyone goes to bars to watch the game. They get sooo crowded when there is an FC Barcelona game. Many people go an hour or so before the game just so they can get a good seat and at the game people yell and holler and cheer for their team like crazy!
