a special smile

last night was pretty tough. it was my last day of school yesterday, and after my final (and of course the monthly gathering of the kids in my class and our teachers for cervecas y tapas) i had to say goodbye to all those wonderful people. although i teared up a bit i didnt think i was going to cry. then, walking home by myself, wide-eyed and adoring granada, the water works started… and pretty much didnt stop. i got home and after some sudoku and a little siesta, the girls and i went to get churros and met a bunch of our friends there. we ate churros and talked and sat around for a few hours, taking up at much space in that little cafe as humanly possible… then outside for more talking and standing around, jess and i tearing up and hugging each other every few minutes (it made it so much better to know that we didnt have to say goodbye to each other). we hugged and kissed some people goodbye, and then TAPAS of course (jess, mad-E, gari, kelly, ryan, and me). we had a great time just having a few drinks and chatting, enjoying each other’s company. then more goodbyes, more tears. then home. we walked in and i went to turn on the tv to see what kind of fútbol was on: liverpool v chelsea. and believe it or not… THAT made me cry. i think it was just everything (saying goodbye and my LAST opportunity for churros con chocolate), but knowing that i cant just turn on the tv and be guarenteed a fútbol game really hit me kinda hard… and i couldnt stop. but thank granada my roommates where there. we watched the oc and ate trailmix and yadda yadda yadda… today was much better. but i sat down at the computer and started to feel sad. i browsed my blogroll and took a look at bookis’s blog, and was reminded of a special blog he wrote for me. including THIS magnificant picture. i feel much better! thanx bks.

    If I had a blog (and actually, I’m probably going to start one…any name ideas?), I would write a post about how you need to write something new or forfeit your blogging privileges. How can I make fun of your anecdotes and opinions if you don’t present them to the world?
