halfway already?

So the other day I was counting and I realized that my time in Spain is halfway gone already, and it seems like I just got here. On the other hand, though, it feels like I've been here forever, learning the city and the culture and all that good stuff.

So far I have:
-gone out a fair amount, to a bunch of different bars and stuff
-observed that most of the music played in bars is American and that most of the people in them seem to be American too... or at least a lot of them
-made friends with a bunch of new people, and not just Americans!
-bought more stuff for myself than I really should have
-also bought a bunch of presents for other people, so I don't feel toooo bad about the above
-improved quite a bit in my Spanish
-formed what may well be a lifelong attachment to the Spanish lifestyle and the country
-become sort of addicted to a Spanish soap opera that I watch with my señora most nights

I can't believe I have to leave so relatively soon! But of course it will be nice to see all you kids back in the States again ... I just wish I knew when, if ever, I get to come back here.

¡Besitos!
