The last day in Madrid flew by... a class presentation (which even the professor didnt want to be there for I think ahah), helping everyone with their last minute shopping, eating our favorite foods one last time (for me: a Napolitana de chocolate for breakfast and a chicken kebap for dinner), and saying our goodbyes at "our bar." Was pretty comical that the bar staff was so sad to see us all go... but we felt pretty special and a little sad ourselves when wee had group pictures with everyone. Actually got to see 4 of my sorority sisters who just arrived in Madrid yesterday for some sightseeing- always nice to see familiar faces. Spent the hours before bed packing, or rather cramming, my bags together, watching movies with my fabulous roommates, and counting the hours until my flight. Im so grateful to ISA for giving two of my bags a home while I'm in Trier... so much less to carry- and no need for a taxi!
When I write again, I'll have arrived in Frankfurt and will find myself with old friends... Melina and her mother are picking me up- I dont think I counld ask for a better welcoming party!
Missing Madrid already, but also very ready to try someplace new! Off to the airport now--yipee :)

Hostel-ville
Dealing with the ridiculousness of yesterday... Erika, Kas, and I are now safely in a hostel. We've escaped the concentration camp of yesterday (our host mother would not let us use the restroom, go into the kitchen, and she took our keys...which made trips across the street to pee an interesting adventure) and finally got a hostel near the ISA office--- thank god for ISA! Now for the discussions today... why the last week of the trip!?
A plus of being in the hostel.... I finally finished my interview for the project. The owner of the hostel was more than happy to fill me in on his opinions of the monarchy--and almost every other aspect of Spanish government haha. But was really interesting and got a few books recommended to me.
Presentation today and IM DONE WITH WORK. Alls left is to repack my things in a semi orderly way and I get to leave for Trier. Im soooooo happy about it!
Trying to enjoy the last day as best I can!
