Here I am in the JFK airport again getting ready to start my
second year in Madrid. After a long
goodbye with the family, I am starting to get excited again, and remember why I
gave myself this much stress and craziness in the first place.
This go-around is way different. I have an apartment to go to immediately upon
arrival and friends there waiting for me.
I suppose having my boyfriend waiting for me there is a plus as
well :D
I enjoyed my time at home, but now I've got the travel bug back, and I’m
ready to go to my next destination!
Which I already have planned. My Uncle George and Aunt Sheryl are traveling
around France for their anniversary.
They kindly invited me to tag along for a little bit and I’ll be meeting
then in Nice for a few days. I’m looking
forward to it! I didn't get the chance
to see them during the summer so I look forward to catching up with them.
Before I came home, I got to go to England and visit London
for a few days. My boyfriend’s brother
got married this past June and I got to go to the wedding outside of
Manchester. It was beautiful and the
ceremony and reception was in a gorgeous English Manor. Very pretty.
Very excited that I got to take part in the celebration and see how
other families do weddings. It was very
similar to an American one. So I’ll
include a few pictures of that.
Once I got home I spent the summer visiting my family,
spending time with my friends, and working at my lifeguard job. It was my last summer working at the Cameron
Woods pool, which I worked at every summer all through college. It was bittersweet to end my time there, but
like everything else, it’s time to move forward and we’ll see what I end up
doing next summer…
I am all moved into my new apartment and have enjoyed being
back and getting to know my new roommates!
One girl is Megan, who I went to Rome with and reached out over the
summer to see if I wanted to live together near the same place as last
year. She found a great 3 bedroom
apartment with an awesome kitchen (THERE'S A DISHWASHER!!!!), 1.5 bathroom, and
a great living room! My other roommate
is Laura, and she is from Germany.
Something we have in common is my brother was born in Germany, and her
brother was born in America. We both
lived in each other’s countries around the same age for about the same length
of time. She’s very nice and I’m sure we’ll
get along just fine! Tomorrow we’re heading
to Ikea, so we’ll bond over shopping…
