So I am currently lying in my bed with michelle next to me (girl needs to take a shower..she kinda smells :)) haha and I am so excited she is finally in ESPANA with me. Again, never in my life would I have ever thought that I would be having one of my best friends fly over from Prauge, to visit me in Spain and help ring in my 21st birthday with me. It is so SURREAL to say the least. And I cannot wait till TUESDAY! Don't forget to wish me Happy Birthday :).
After picking up michelle from the airport we gourged ourselves with mexican food and I showed her a night on the town in San Sebastian. She has met the majority of ym friends that I hang out with here and of course, she gets along with them as if she has been in Spain the entire time with me. I love it. I took her to Zurriola Beach where I often surf and we also ate far too much for our own good at the Qing Wok! the Chinese Buffet. But hey, homegirl's favorite food is chinese so of course I had to take her there! haha. This week is about to be insane and I hope she is ready for a whole lot of Pintxos, bar crawls, wind combs, birthday celebrations, shopping, Parte Vieja and so much more! I cannot WAIT to show her around and it is going to be a great time :).
It has finally hit me that aside from Michelle being here, no one else from Chico is going to be able to physically ring in my 21st with me and it is a little bit of a bummer. Just another hard thing I knew I was going to have to accept when I decided to come here, but don't get me wrong, I would not change this experience for the world. I have made a lot of friends here and I know that all of us and Michelle will do my birthday justice, especially since I am forcing everyone to dress up fancy for it. We were going to have a white trash bar crawl here, but then we decided that might be WAAYYY too frowned upon/border on disrespectful! haha. It will be a great time but I just wanted you all to know that you will all be here in spirit with me and you all better do it big in chico even if im not there. Buy some shots, mixed drinks, beers or whatever you prefer and cheers them to your best friend and think of the Koose!!
I cannot believe in lest than 2 days I am going to be 21 and I could not feel more on top of the world! Life is amazing and as Georgia Remembrance Day begins tomorrow I know I have a whole lot to be thankful for and a whole lot to celebrate! Especially knowing that I am n a foreign country which is a once in a life time chance and I believe with every ounce of my soul that I am taking full advantage of it and living it to the fullest which was my main goal while being here! Today is also the marker that I have 2 months exactly left living in Spain and time is going by way to fast for my liking! I am excited to return to America and all that is Chico, but I am not quite ready to accept the fact that I am at my half way point here. Its like my alarm clock is going off to wake me up and I want to put it on snooze. But hey, you can't put LIFE on snooze so I have to be thankful for every moment I have here and use my time wisely!
St. Patty's day was a success here as Laura and I were able to explain what an Irish car bomb was sucessfully in Spanish and while getting free hats, free shirts, and free beads with all the beer we bought to drink. I must say that I am now a HUGE fan of Guinness and this was my first time truly celebrating St. Patty's day and although I didn't have mama koose's home cooked corn beef and cabbage, I did havea great time with all of my friends :)!
Heres A cheers to celebrating life...as usual, turning 21, best friends near and far, and to missing all of you! One more year, but a life time of change, challenges and adventures ahead and I can't wait for both my european and american worlds to collide and have many people near and far my future endeavors with me!
Much Love,
The Koose
