February 6

The past two days have been filled with running, homework, and Netflix. The only people in my apartment are myself and Brielle, and Jacqueline, occasionally. Jacqueline and I just kicked butt in finishing Spring Break travel plans, like the hostels and buses to get from one city to another. It's amazing how simple it was with only to of us. We also purchased tickets to see James Bay in concert in Barcelona, as a day trip. We're taking a casual day trip to Barcelona for a concert, no big deal. It's been an exciting day. I only have, like, 20+ more trig problems to do, after completing 20 already. I finished my English essay, which was a dreadful 2 hour feat. We have to write, in "documentary" form, about the Andalusia trip, it was honestly terrible.

As I walked through the streets of Valencia tonight, and actually ended up on streets I've never been on before, and also, maybe, possibly, got a little lost in my own city...I thought about how grateful I am to be here. I remember that Madison was the first person I told about being "accepted" to go to FSU Valencia and we jumped around Ben's room all excited. I'm here now, and I've been in the USA, Amsterdam, Valencia, Cordoba, Granada, Sevilla, Alicante, and Venice all within 30 days. How insane is that? I know what back roads to take to get me around all of the tourists. I have a favorite breakfast item at a bakery here. I run through the riverbed daily, with 500+ other people, I pass so many people it's crazy to think how many people here just run...or sprint, they're really fast, it's disturbing. I'm glad that I made the friends that I have and this semester is just flying by. I cannot wait for London with Jacqueline and Aleesia, but I know that I will be upset leaving this place I refer to as, "home." Tallahassee will have nothing on Europe.

Here's the most recent photo of me, (Aleesia), Brittany, and Jacqueline

ISN'T IT INSANE?!
