It’s hard to believe that a month ago I was in France. It feels like the time is slipping right through my hands! Easter came and went with a much needed vacation to Croatia. I say “vacation” because it felt like it – no rushing around to see a list of places, no schedules to follow, no assignments to do – it was beautiful, and so was Croatia! I just wish it was warmer – the beaches looked gorgeous!
Spring is finally here in Sant Cugat. While the weather has been mild over the past couple of months, the signs of spring are here: the flowers are in bloom, the weather is starting to get warm enough for shorts, and the Americans are tanning outside in our free time. Lord knows I'm in for quite a climate shock when I get back to American winters and springs, especially next year on the east coast at the University of Maryland!
Speaking of which, I'm currently on the housing hunt for my new home-away-from-home next year in College Park. I forgot how frustratingly annoying it is to look for apartments...online...thousands of miles away. Half the places you look at have no pictures or no website, and all you can do is call someone for "more information." UIUC I am already missing your off-campus housing prices; know that you are dearly missed. Hopefully I'll be able to find a place to make my UMD experience feel just as home-y as it has been the past four years at UIUC!
May 15th is fast approaching and as ready as I am to go home, I'm not! Still working on crossing things off my Barcelona Bucket List; you know, important things like buying one of those Cookie Monster-looking donuts outside the L3 metro stop at Placa Catalunya and seeing the Font Màgica de Montjuïc at night. I never want to leave this magical place.
