Day who knows which

Well hello to those of you who still check this!
This afternoon I finished my last final, and so I am done done done done done with the study part of this study abroad adventure! Sorry for the lack of posts in the past month, things got really crazy with traveling every weekend and getting into finals. Lets see, I have been to three other countries since I last posted: Italy (Florance and Rome), Spain (Granada), and Sweden (Stockholm). Italy was really cool, I visited a friend who is studying for the year in Florence so she showed us around there, it was amazing I actually liked it better than Rome. Rome was fun, it was a blur though because we only spent 2.5 days there and there is so much stuff to see. Spain was interesting, due to some stupid airline regulations I missed my flight from Madrid to Granada, ended up taking a metro to a bus station to get a bus to Granada and got pick pocketed on the metro. So I spent the night in Madrid, thankfully there was a hotel near the bus station that allowed me to pay with my mom's credit card number. I made it onto the bus on saturday and spent about half a day in Granada, which was amazing I really wish I had gotten more time there. Sweden was lots of fun too, it wasn't nearly as cold as I had expected given we were there in December. It was all decorated for Christmas and was very cute and festive. Other than travels I have been doing lots of work, writting lots of papers, and studying lots. But that has all paid off, and now I get to enjoy my last few days in Paris with my mom and Kirk (and my friend who is visiting from Florence) and then a few days traveling around Brittany, and than a few more days in Paris before I am home right before Christmas (assuming my flight on Brittish Airways works out despite the strike)
