Home!

I'm in Atlanta!

But only for a week. We finally finished up our documentaries and turned them in in class on Friday. I'll share my personal documentary on here even though it's in Spanish, but the group one is 20 minutes long and kind of boring.

Hopefully it will show up the right way when it's uploaded. I've definitely had some video troubles on this blog.

Thursday night was fun. We had no class so that we could finish up our work, and me and Mandy got done pretty early. That meant we could go to a party Thursday night. We considered staying in to do our essays but our host mom encouraged us to go. It was so fun! We were invited through the university we were studying at, and the party was at the W in Mexico for this new hair care line by Lee Stafford. There were free drinks, appetizers, good music, fancy clothes (it was a cocktail attire, we didn't have cocktail attire clothes but we did our best), and fun decorations. We also got free hair product sample bags. It was a nice change from the usual Mexico bar or club.

Yesterday we had a final get together at the house of one of the students. Our TA's birthday is coming up, so we got her a cake (and smushed her face into it as is tradition there). We also got baskets of sweets for Emilie and Jennie, and me and the five other Condesa girls made solo cup awards (like paper plate awards but on cups). We had so much fun reading everybody's superlatives, and just being together for one last night before the group split up to go to different places.

Today I flew home. Right when I got home my sister wanted to go on a bike ride, so it's been a busy but fun first day back. I'm so glad to have a week in between this last trip and Spain! 

I will update my blog again when we land in Barcelona! For now, I'll be enjoying my precious time with my friends and family.
