Alright, the other day I was thinking about why I am in Spain. The original reason I signed up for this was because I wanted to learn Spanish, and while my Spanish has really improved since I've been here, I've found that I've learned so many other things while living across the pond. For example:
1-I really love my friends and family. It has been a blast to meet new people and see new things, but come December I'll be ready to spend time back at home in Ogallala with my family, and when the end of January rolls around I look forward to heading back to Doane.
2-Walking is really sweet! Everyday I trek miles and miles between home and school. Seriously, it isn't unusual to walk 10 miles a day. And you know what, I love it! I hope to keep up the habit when I return stateside, or at very least I hope I never complain about walking to the cafeteria on campus again.
3-Different people have different priorities, and to many Europeans, dental health is not a priority. In Granada, a six-pack of beer or a bottle wine costs less then dental floss. . .
4-Shawarmas are Amazing! Roasted meat stuffed into a pita with veggies and a delicious white sauce and then grilled till the pita has a nice toasted outside. . . mmmmmmm. All that fantastic goodness for only 2.50 euros.
Well, this post didn't end up being as deep and profound as I originally thought it would be. Oh well, that's fine by me. I promise to provide some thought provoking writing in the future.

it has been so great, when i remember to stop by your blog, to watch this adventure develop and to see the changes it brings about you. reading about you discovering these adventures for the first time is almost as good as doing it for real.
keep living large, and keep writing about it!
