I must say that I've really liked life lately. There are just so many things that I could list that I'm happy about. For example, I have friends that can both dance AND sing to dub-step. Do you know how hard that is?? I can read Spanish text/IM language. I understand and even make Spanish jokes every now and then. I'm getting a nice tan for the half-ginger I am, and if I want to, I can go to the beach and get even tanner whenever I feel like it. How did I get so lucky?
Maybe I'm just in an especially good mood because I had a really nice weekend. But I don't think that's it. I've been happier lately and enjoying life. I still have a few weeks of school left, but I'm looking forward to summer. I don't mind school because I get to see my friends, but I sure won't mind some summer, Costa Del Sol style either.
When I look back to the beginning of my exchange, I wasn't this happy. In fact, I remember being significantly more sad at the beginning of my exchange. The whole month of January was a high point, although February was a tough month in general. Since then I've felt increasingly better and lately I can't help but really like my life here. I'm not sure if it's because I know that I have to leave in two months and I should make the most of my time, or if it's because I truly am used to life here and even enjoying it. Either way, I feel good! So I won't continue questioning it.
Yesterday I received my senior year schedule! As much as I'd like to just focus on Spain while I'm here, I can't forget that eventually I will be back in Newton resuming my other life and, consequently, finishing high school. I thought I'd have a much fuller schedule than I do, but I actually have a bunch of empty hours. I'm not really sure what to do about that. I can't decide whether to put in some AP classes for some college credit, some fun/informative electives just because I like to be educated, or simply leave the empty spaces as they are and possibly get involved with a bunch of extracurriculars to compensate for a somewhat average senior schedule in my opinion.
That really has nothing to do with my time in Spain, but I don't have much else to tell you guys. I was going to write about how going from Bachillerato to the universities are (because the system here is MUCH different than that of the US) but I honestly don't have the motivation today. I will try to soon though! In the mean time, here are some songs that are popular in Spain at the moment.
Una Vaina Loca by Fuego
La Bomba by King Africa
Rayos de Sol by Jose de Rico
