DOCE: THIS EXPERIENCE

 Honestly, today it is extra hard to find the things I am thankful for. I have felt really stressed about all sorts of travel worries, essays I have to do, things I have to read for class, and things I have to think about for the Spring semester.

I do miss my family and friends, Chick-fil-a, and pumpkin pie, trust me. But I am really sad when I think about this experience ending. I'm trying to flip it around to joy and thankfulness for this program.

 So, here it is, I am thankful for this experience. I'm thankful that I get to study abroad. That I am in Toledo. That I am in Spain. That I am in Europe.

 Kthnxbai!

His friend was going to be singing there, so he invited us to come. After getting some delicious croquettes and walking in the rain, we went to the church to see what it was about.   It...
