Ahora, Soy aqui: At home.

Well, I suppose I should have some sort of reflection, now that my time in Barcelona is finished. Whether it is for the sake of this 'ACT-In' major, for the sake of family, or for my own sake, this would be good to write. But, I don't want to reflect and make the experience finally completely finished! I have adjusted back to home fairly well. After speaking with Megan, I should probably say really well! But, I feel...restless, like being here is just not quite enough. I love to relax at home, to talk to friends freely on my cell phone, to drive my car, to spend time with my family, and see the beautiful countryside. But something is missing, and I can't explain it quite yet. I know the obvious answer. I miss all of the people I have met these past four months, both Spanish and other Americans studying in the city, and I miss Isaac terribly. I cannot stop thinking about him, it seems. The city was great and I liked it, but it is the people I miss, not Barcelona herself. But, something else is different and I need to search out what it is. There are so many experiences in Barcelona I will never forget, and people who have made impressions in my life. I will most likely be going on a road trip to the east coast to visit most of my new friends (as that is where they all seem to live) with Megan. And don't worry, I'll be visiting Barcelona again as well, probably for longer than a visit. Isaac is not just a boy I dated and had a teary good-bye with. He is something else, special. He makes me so happy. For those that know me, I don't fall for guys easily. I am what you would call 'independent'..But Isaac is different from other guys I have known and I am excited to see what will happen, however difficult it may be to make a reality. I am up for a challenge! ;)

So, what happens now? Well, I am beyond broke and in limbo. I am moving up to my campus next week with research to do (I hope) and a job to find (quickly!). From there, I have GREs to worry about this summer, graduate school searching and applications, and senior year of college. And, as well, the possibility of taking a gap year to search out options for. Things are moving quickly and changing, and I am changed. But, I feel good about these changes, and am more ready for them than before I left the United States. Whatever the next months and years bring, I am excited to see! I will keep anyone who still looks at my blog updated (if anyone does look, since I am now home again). Hasta luego!!!
