Sometimes you plan to go to Madrid for your birthday and it all falls through, sometimes you have days where you go through your full range of emotions in 12 hours, sometimes you are torn between your home where your family lives and your new 'home' abroad. Sometimes all these days fall into one and sometimes that day is called Nov 30 2013.
I haven't had too many hard days since moving to Spain in August but yesterday was definitely one of them. I spent a lot of time with my mom on skype, didn't eat a proper dinner and was just overall bummed. However, today is a new day (a new month in fact) and it´s to move past the Thanksgiving sadness, dust myself off from my failed trip plans and start over. Today is a day full of homework and maybe a brief outing with an American friend. What did I learn this week? Disasters happen, sometimes you cry a lot, but life goes on just like it does at home. I think that lesson is one of the most important ones you can learn abroad.
