Today I emerged from underneath my rock where I’ve apparently been since March and my first priority was to update my blog! Haha. Ok, so I’m not very good at the updating but I would like to briefly share what I’ve been up to for the past 2 or so months:
And that brings me up to today Friday, the 28th of May, Graduation Day for the HC seniors of the class of 2010. It’s so hard to believe that a year from now my friends and I will be walking across a stage and receiving our undergrad diplomas and going on to start our lives (or, if all goes according to plan, forgoing the start of our lives with more school). Who am I kidding, I can barely wrap my mind around leaving Palma this year, let alone contemplate graduation. This past Wednesday was our final dinner with all of the madres, students and directors gathering for a celebratory meal to top off the year. I guess you could say that it started to hit me when all of the cameras were flashing in our eyes that our Palma family would soon be leaving our paradise and dispersing to our separate corners to reunite with family and friends and ultimately to return to reality. But then again, what I felt at that dinner won’t compare in the least to what I will feel as I begin to pack up all of my belongings or as I say my final goodbye to Antonia, my madre, or as my last flight from the Palma airport takes off bound for home.
Ok, I really need to stop the sentimental stuff here cause I’ll just get even more depressed. I still have 2 weeks packed with beach time, island-exploring, concert-going (the Kooks on June 6th!) and, of course, food-eating! I’ll be sure to put up one last blog before I leave the island and, in true avid-Losty style, I’ll relate the outcome of my favorite show to my whole year abroad. Prepare to blow your mind. To close, here are a few photos from my past couple months.
Hasta pronto!
