Where has the time gone?

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! I have just officially finished my semester here in Spain, after 3 attempts at a test for one of my photo class I have finally passed, YEAH! Before people start saying ¨3 attempts?¨ let me explain. First off this class was poorly organized, due to my original professor having health problems in the beginning of the semester we were given a different professor who could only help us with doing the practical part of class and we were teaching ourselves the theory part. Then 4 weeks before the end of the semester our original professor begins teaching theory. Then to make passing the class more difficult for every two questions you got worng on the test it took away one of the correct answers you had. To make this more clear, the last time I took the test I got 16 right and 4 wrong, the 4 wrong would take 2 of my correct answers away leaving me with 14 right, which makes it 7 out of 10. Anyways, I finally passed thankfully!
My days are very limited here though, today I recieve my scholarship money for living with a family, pick up my certificate for my Spanish class, have lunch with my American friend where we had our first lunch ever here, and then going out with some friends. Tomorrow I will be going to Valencia with my host mom (weather permitting) and then relaxing. Sunday will be getting everything ready, spending time with my host mom and her family is coming over to say their final goodbyes. Then Monday I head off to Madrid leaving my house at about 6:45am and arriving at 10:30am there. I then will fit everything that I can into Monday and Tuesday and see as much as I can see before I leave Wednesday. I have to be leaving my hostel at around 8am to get to the airport on time, then I will land at Chicago O´hare at 2:15pm Chicago time (9:15pm Spain time) where my lovely fiance Dan will pick me up and we will make the journey home.
As you see the next few days are pretty busy so I do not know when I will update again. I will try sometime this weekend and maybe if I´m lucky in Madrid as I will have some time to kill at night once it gets dark as I will be traveling alone. If not I´ll post once I am stateside!
Love you all!
