I bought my ticket home this weekend. 10th of July. I have mixed feelings. At first I was very excited. I'll have Sara with me and we'll get to do a tour of the West coast. I'll get to see mom and dad and the rest of the fam who I miss so much! I'll also have a good chunk of time at home to get sick of it again.
But, now I'm realizing I have no idea when I'll be back to Spain. I'm really going to miss Iñaki's family and how they've welcomed me here and tried to make me feel at home. We had a birthday lunch for him on sunday with his dad's fam and I found myself looking up at the faces around the table and getting a little choked up.
And, I don't know if Iñaki will get to join me at home or not. Because we don't know where we'll be next year yet, he may just be in Spain, saving money until we can meet at our new home, wherever that might be. Scary. I know I can handle it, I'm Darby, not the girlfriend of Iñaki, but I kind of like having him around ; )
No matter what, I'm excited to be in Portland for the summer and in my neck of the woods and with my peeps and my language and my culture. I need to recharge my bats.
Aight, I better get to Spanish class. I'm taking the intermediate test for a degree in about a month! Javier says the intermediate should be easy for the level of our class and the advanced, a challenge. Since I have to pay to take the test, I'm taking the int.
Love to ya!
