El fin :(
HOLA MI FAMILIA!
ES CASI EL FIN Y MI REGRESO A ESTADOS UNIDOS. ESTAS EMOCIONADO?!
translation: Hello my family! It is close to the end and my return home to USA. Are you excited?!
obvi that was a rhetorical question. we all know you cant wait to see me again ;) lol bromas (jokes)
anyway, just FINISHED school here!! super excited about that :))) feels good! last full day in Madrid tho so thats sad :((( we leave early tomorrow morning for Granada and then Toledo coming back here Sunday night to pack and fly out early Monday morning. its gonna be hectic and lots of emotions all wrapped up into one. I am so excited to be home and back in the best country ever. but i do not wanna leave Spain at the same time. and i def do not wanna leave all these people :( we have been forced to spend every single day together and they are some of the coolest people ive met. it will be sad to say goodbye and go our seperate ways. they have made this trip so much better for me!

La Corrida de Torros-Bull Fight
I'd like to preface this blog with a :
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! Happy birthday to the best country evs.
Also, ONE WEEK. in exactly one week and about 4 hours i will be landed in Indy! crazy to think about.
Anyway as for now, we are trying to wrap everything up here in Madrid. As you know i went to Rastro yesterday morning for some last cheap shopping. didnt end up getting to much BUUUUUT got one, well four, of the most amazing things ever. I cannot even describe it. just be super excited to see it once im home and also to be annoyed pretty quickly haha it is a typical Abby item and you all wont be surprised lol sorry for the tease tho! haha i was super excited with that purchase and then we left and stopped by the restaurant for extra credit. it was pretty but everything was expensive. since i hadnt had breakfast and we had been shopping and walking for a while we were all hungry. we ended up stopping in KFC right by the metro stop to get a snack haha ops. i got this chicken wrap thing with lettuce and some weird spicy sauce. it was good tho! the kfc menu is a little different here but nonetheless still american food haha we went home and i took a long nap before preparing for the bull fight i was about to go to lol the bull fight was at 830 and luckily it is literally two minutes from our place..on the same street even! to sum it up..it was an experience, to say the least. cant believe people can do that for entertainment. but it was cool to see. definitely is a once is good type thing tho lol ill explain to you all it in detail if you want but will spare the details for now. I have a ton of pictures and videos as well. some get pretty gore-y tho. it was bad at times. glad i went tho! after that we came home and at dinner (altho wasnt to hungry and literally couldnt use a knife lol) and did some school work and went to bed. Today we had class and then have been doing school work and napping but are planning to go shopping soon with Gabriela, the girl who works for our school but is part of our program and from America. she should hate us by now because we have been a pain in her ass haha but for some reason (maybe because she is getting paid) she hasnt began to hate us lol she offered to take us shopping around the area to show us the good places and whatnot. im excited! idk what else really. ill talk to you guys later and see you in one week!
xoxoxo <3

Salido, exito, a dia.
Hellllllo :)
Yesterday night a whole bunch of people from my group went and saw transformers at a theater here. I decided not to go and to stay in and be productive. and i did just that!! :) got all my papers done, some souvenir organizing, pictures and even watch the season finale of real world from the DVD mom sent me! :) it was a great night. lol
Today we went on an excursion to a place in Spain called Alcala de Henares. parts were cool, but overall it was kind of a waste of a day because we all have so much left to do in madrid before we leave and we spent a lot of time here just wasted because our museums and sites werent open. it was kinda poorly planned. but oh well! now we are back home about to eat and get ready for our last night in Madrid. Josh, the graduate student that is in charge, is having people over to his place so that should be fun! and we are talking about going to the ice bar after that! im excited! :)
Tomorrow we are going back to Rastro, the huge market to shop in if you remember, to get the last of our souvenirs and such. After that we are going to a cool restaurant here for extra credit in our Food and Culture Class. Then we plan on catching a mass if we can find a church lol im excited for that! Later tomorrow night we are going to a bull fight. I am excited for the experience but scared as well! they get really bad here in Madrid and I may wanna leave or cry haha
Thats about all the news here i believe. hope all is well there and everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. LOVE YOU!
