In late January, I was fortunate enough to run into a old friend that I met in September. Another American, we had a lot in common, and started talking and spending a lot of time together. Long story short, we've been inseparable since then. I really don't know where I would be without him at this point. He's become that person I can't live without, and I don't know what I ever did before I met him. He's kind of amazing. =)
We took a lot of trips, Córdoba, Sevilla, Barcelona, Valencia, Segovia, Ávila... And each was absolutely fantastic! We got to see some of the most amazing things I've ever seen, and I'm glad to say I was able to share those experiences with someone who has become one of the most important people in my life.
In between all this flitting around Spain, though, I started my second semester of my Masters. This semester, I had to travel to a city called Valladolid, about an hour or so away from Salamanca. It was extremely stressful, but also a really amazing experience. I was able to get to know the people in my Master's group better, and I really enjoyed the classes as well. So, even though I would come home some days, exhausted and on the verge of tears, in the end, looking back, I wouldn't change it.
Now, I'm still in Salamanca. Everyone has gone home for the summer, but not me! I'm still working, and finishing my Masters Thesis. It gets lonely at times, but I have my puppy here, and he's good company. He seems to be really enjoying Spain! He loves the walks, and meeting other dogs (sometimes) and I know he can't wait for my roommate and her dog to get back. I think he misses his friend.
Well, like I said, this was just a REALLY short re-cap of an amazing 6 months. Hopefully, the next 6, I'll be more proactive with my blog...
P.S. Here's a few pictures of my trips!
