A year ago GODSPELL auditions and our first Rotary Overnighter were on my mind. Now my head circulates thoughts of how my New Year's in Spain will be and how the move to my new host family will go. It's funny how different my life is now. A year ago I didn't even know I was coming to Spain. I just knew I was going "somewhere." But here I am. Ready to eat twelve grapes at midnight then meet friends at two am in a costume to celebrate the first hours of 2011. I seriously don't know where the time has gone. Throughout my eights months of 2010 spent in the U.S. I enjoyed every minute of my time left of high school and summer break with my family and friends. The past four months that I've spent in Spain, I have learned and experienced so much and added another family and group of friends to the people I love.
As for New Year's resolutions, I can't remember if I even had one last year. If I did, it couldn't have been that significant because I am drawing a blank. As for this year's resolution I think learning Spanish and speaking fluently will be at the top of my list. And, as always, living today as my last. Enjoying every minute of my life here and introducing my culture to Spain while learning everything I can about theirs.
I still can't believe that it's been another year. That 2010 will be over in five hours (for Spain at least). It's been a great year. A year full of so many new experiences and wonderful memories. I look forward to a great year in 2011. Happy New Year's everyone!! Drink some champagne and eat twelve grapes! ¡Prospero año!
