The end

Well I did it. I have successfully (well, we'll see how successful I was after they send grades home) completed a year of school in San Cernin private Catholic school, in Spain. We had our last test today, and then afterwards everyone signed everyone's uniform t-shirts, because they no longer need them for next year. They get to wear normal clothes to school next year (their last year). My friend was complaining that she'll have to wake herself up 30 minutes earlier to decide what to wear to school. My host family's daughter came home on Monday, and Laura Lacalle, the daughter of my first host family, came home on Tuesday night. It was really nice getting to meet them after hearing so much about them. They all say that they had an amazing time in America, but it's nice to be home. Everyone keeps asking me when I'm leaving (July 9th from Spain, then we're traveling around Europe, then I'll be at home on July 22nd). They also ask me if I want to go home, and I never know how to answer them. I really do and I really don't all at the same time. It will be so nice to see everyone, but I don't want to leave the people I've met and made friends with here and restart my life at home. I'm sure that by the time July 22nd comes I'll be ready to go though.

Tonight pretty much my whole school is going out to celebrate the end of the year. I'm so excited to not have to study anymore, and not having to wear the uniform every day will be nice too.

Congrats, Chloe, you did it! I can't believe how fast your year went by (from my perspective, anyway!). I stumbled across your mom's blog a year ago, and then began following yours after you arrived in Spain.

I'm selfishly sad it's over, because I really enjoyed following along in your adventures, so thanks for taking us for a vicarious ride with you! Enjoy your travels... you'll unforgettable memories, just like me. I went abroad *gulp* 18 years ago this fall. Geez. Now I feel OLD!
