The past few days I haven't been able to sleep. Or I've been sleeping in very late because I haven't fallen asleep. My stomach has been aching and I just haven't felt quite right. Tomorrow is my last day in Madrid and then I head back to the States Saturday afternoon. It has been an incredible past 7 months and I honestly can't believe it is coming to an end.
In honor of my last week, my host family and I have been trying to do some extra fun things, before time runs out. On Sunday, I made arepas with my host-dad, Luis, and my host-sister, Amalia. It was so wonderful introducing them to a new dish and seeing their responses. And seeing how each person stuffed theirs! In return, my host-mom, Titi, taught me how to make a Spanish tortilla on Wednesday.

It's been a wonderful last week, if not a bit stressful, and I really am sad to see it come to an end. But while I may be leaving Madrid for now, I am coming back to incredible family and friends and cannot wait for my return. As for now, I have bags to pack and last minute good-byes to say.
