A Little Overdue

Well I planned on this being done a while ago but final papers and presentations got in the way unfortunately. A few exciting things have happened since my last blog post. The most exciting was I turned 20 years old in Valencia, Spain!! This trip was a blast! It was extremely nice weather (enough to get some sun at the beach) and the city was gorgeous. I saw the incredible Science Museum and Aquarium, and had a huge plate of paella that was about as big as my torso!! Did a lot of walking and saw a lot of the city! It was definitely nice to spend my last trip in Valencia for my birthday! I also got some great birthday cards (shout out to the Aunt Heather, Uncle Todd, Aunt Noelle, Uncle Mike, Aunt Rose, Uncle Greg, Gregory, and Gams and Grandad!!)! And of course the MASSIVE birthday package from my awesome family filled with goodies!! Definitely unexpected but TOTALLY awesome! This past weekend I saw my last soccer match this semester at Atletico Madrid as they took on Real Madrid. It was an incredible match and the atmosphere was incredible especially because they celebrated the stadium's 110th anniversary! Today has been incredibly cold and rainy but I did go to my last day of classes here in Spain! It's truly incredible how amazing this semester has been. I've met so many incredible people both international students and American students, experienced an extremely rich culture, and had the time of my life. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of that or supported me. I am always grateful for you all.
