Journal Entry July 23 1:03 AM

July 23 1:03 am

I went with some people from class to see the magic fountain again from Montjuic. The show was just as corny but it was fun to hang out with people. I can´t say that I would have guessed the people I would be the closest to at the beginning of the class. I will definately miss my fellow Michigander!

It makes me wonder a bit... Why were we drawn to each other? Because we are both from Michigan? Because we have complimentary personalities? Because we are on the same maturity level? Whatever it was I´m glad it did! Thank you, whatever mysterious power brought me a crazy Romanian, a talkative Belgian, a tough Jersey-girl, an independent Californian woman, and a brave Michiganian mother of two!

I think this has been the greatest learning experience of my life and I wouldn´t trade a day of it (even the aweful homesick filled ones) for anything in the world!

10:06 am

Well my darling city has made a beautiful effort to say farewell. I woke up this morning just in time to see the two minutes worth of rain that we had. My last day here is cloudy and windy, a fitting backdrop for the end of an emotional rollercoaster of a month.

I don´t think I would want to live in Barcelona permanently but I will miss it. I won´t miss the anxiety that comes with the class but I will miss the people. They are all important characters in a very influential chapter of my life.

10:45 am

I must confess a part of me just wants to skip France and go back to Michigan as fast as possible. I´d imagine that´s the homesick part of me talking, but I don´t want to act on fear I´ve been doing that most of my life. It´s time to step up!
