...just ask charlie brown. (thanks, michael scott)
the past week has truly been an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least.
i understood, before leaving home, that the first few weeks would be kinda awkward and difficult.
but i guess this is what they call homesickness/culture shock.
i also knew that i was coming to spain for the fall semester to challenge myself and to prove that i could do it, living in a country where english is not the first language and people stay out until the sun rises.
not that i have a huge problem with eating lunch and 3 and dinner at 10, but it does take some adjusting.
i guess my biggest problem was that no one i knew would be here with me. that's the best/worst part.
hearing about my mom making raspberry muffins, my dad yelling during the eagles game, my dog barking while looking for the source of my voice, it's all very bitter. but the sweet is that i will broaden so many horizons, even ones i knew knew existed.
oh and the walk from west to main campus come spring semester...piece of cake.
