Already almost too late for typical Colleen end-of-something nostalgia

I was so busy in May that I couldn't devote my usual effort to blogging so I just gave up altogether.

You missed:
Daytrip to Toledo (to be honest I wasn't overly impressed)
País Vasco (Bilbao is Bilbao, Guernica was kind of creepy, Elantxobe was gorgeous, San Sebastián was gorgeous and I ate the best tapas of my life)
Copenhagen and Stockholm (beautiful and a lot of fun, we explored both cities by bike)
Group trip to Córdoba and Granada (Gran Mezquita, Alhambra, etc.)
Barcelona with my brother and dad
Diane visiting while I was taking finals
Me teething (one of my 12-year-old molars is finally coming in all the way)
Me having a pedestrian crash (I still have a giant yellow and purple bruise)
La cena de despedida (some of my friends are already back in the States!)
Colleen finding an internship last minute

Now I am done with finals and waiting for my tutor to get back to me so I can get my last paper done. Tomorrow I am meeting Diane in Palma de Mallorca and then we're taking the ferry to Ibiza for a day and a half. We'll get back to Madrid either very late Friday or very early Saturday, depending on where you break the days. That Saturday my host family leaves for the U.S. for the first time, heading first to New York City and then down to New Jersey to attend the wedding of one of their former Georgetown students.

I can't believe the program is for all practical purposes over! The fact that our departures are spread out over a month makes it seem slightly less dramatic (aka I only cried a little on Saturday night), but I probably won't see most of the people in the program until next year at Georgetown, even if they are here all month. The second semester definitely went by faster (I guess that is somewhat a statement of the obvious since there was no three week Christmas break in the middle). I can't believe how little time I have left in Madrid, especially since I've got a pretty hefty travel agenda. An entire (academic) year in Spain is over! I am almost a senior in college! I need to figure out what I want to do with my life after graduating... I'm taking the LSAT in September and also considering signing up for the Foreign Service Officer exam, but we'll see.
