I don't want to leaveee!

Feria de Abril:


Translation:

I don't know if anyone is still reading my blog, never the less... this morning i woke up really early and decided to write about my feelings right now. I am leaving leaving in 2 days. It's unreal. My experience here has gone too quick. Since my last entry many things have been going on. My friends from Vanderbilt came to Sevilla for Feria (a big fair in Sevilla that is world-renown - I have some crazy pictures). My mom and Linsday visited Sevilla and we went to Barcelona and Madrid. And for these final weeks, i have been in Sevilla which i really enjoyed.

Yesterday I had my final oral exam in Spanish. My professor asked - What has been your favorite experience in Sevilla? I needed to think about this question because in 4 months there have been many experiences - not including travel to other countries. I responded: A normal day in Sevilla. When I wake up, eat breakfast, walk to school (where i see the same people on my walks), return home for lunch. And then I have a free day- some days I do work by the river, take a walk to explore a new part of the city, gym, ect. I explained that I know my favorite experience isn't very interested but in reality, in 10 years, I will remember these days.

But when I was walking after the exam, i was thinking about the question again and I have two more experience that i never want to forget.

I bought a ticket for the bus to Madrid (i think it was February) through the internet. I went to the bus station to pick up my ticket but when i asked at the ticket window the saleswoman h didn't have my name or any record of my purchase. I needed to call customer service, where i found out, no one speaks English. for the first time, it was very important to use my Spanish.
at the end of the call, i fixed the problem and i felt very proud.

The second experience is similiar to my response in the exam but more specific. I don't want to forget the feeling of walking through the narrow streets near my house in the barrio Macarena, a little before dusk. I love the light through the buildings, the fresh air found in the shade of the buildings, and the amazing feeling that i have no one i need to be - and don't worry, i took manyyy pictures from my favorite time of day.

For now, goodbye.

I will see you in a few days...
