There's No Way I'm Halfway Done Already

Hey guys! So it has been quite some time since I last blogged so sorry! So lets get to it: I'M ALREADY HALFWAY DONE WITH MY EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!!! I can't believe it. It has gone by so incredibly fast! 2 months down, and 2 to go! To be completely honest im torn. Half of me loves being here and the culture and the food and everything else. Then again half of me really misses home and family and friends and home cooking. I obviously can't have both so I'll just have to make the most of both! In honor of reaching the halfway mark, I decided to look back at the goals I set for myself when I first got here. I have almost accomplished all of them with a little bit of modification. I am getting more comfortable speaking Spanish, I've seen 2 soccer games already, I've been enthralled countless times already, I play soccer every week, and I continue to explore Madrid as much as possible! Speaking of exploring, I spent a few hours visiting places I hadn't been to yet! Mercado de San Miguel, Plaza Mayor, and the Reina Sofia! The market was like a mini version of the one in Barcelona! So if you remember how much I loved that market you'll understand when I say I will be returning! I'm thinking I could always use more chocolate. SLU's Men's Basketball team just won the A-10 conference and will have a number 1 seed in the A-10 tournament!! Also the main campus just started their Spring Break while we still have another 2 weeks. But that means just 2 weeks til my dad is here!!! I'm so incredibly excited!! It will be a lot of fun to include him in my excellent adventure!! That's all I have for now so if you are on Spring Break, have fun! If you aren't, hang in there! Til next time, hasta luego!
