The Window

So.... life in Spain was a little rough in the beginning. Im not going to lie. I had no friends, my Spanish sucked hard core, and I missed home. I was not sure about coming to a foreign country without my buddy in crime (you know who you are!).

Now, A month into my new life and I love it! I have made so many friends.. so many that I dont have time to hang out with all of them, but I try. I have been to many places around Spain. Mostly just locally as of now. This weekend I am going to San Sebastian with good friends. That should be a blast. As each day goes by I am noticing how my life has changed. The simplest things are just so much more rewarding. For example, going to lunch with a friend and just having a conversation about life or the things you did that you would not normally do if you were are home. But I have realized that it is not about how many friends you make or how many places you go. It is about the experience and how you choose to live it. I have realized that just sitting for a few hours sitting with friends while drinking a cafe or eating tapas is so much better than I could have possibly imagined. Life is definitely what you make it.

Everyday it takes me about an hour to get to my Spanish class. Which includes alot of walking, but walking is good for me and I need to remind myself that all of the time. I CANT be lazy, when i got legs! Everyday i walk to the Metro. It is a great time to think and just have a moment to listen to music or think about what I am going to do that day. I love having this lifestyle. Embrace life even when things seem like they are not going well. Most the time something great becomes of it! You just have to look through that window and see what there is so explore!!!!!
