I promise I haven´t forgotten you... Hey everyone! So this picture is from when I went to Malta but I put it up today because I have an (albeit ridiculously) big smile on my face. That´s how I´m feeling today. I just received my grade in the class for which I had to write a 10 pager (16 pages by American college standards). 9,3 out of 10 is pretty darn good for Spain and also extremely good compared to the other students in the class.

I can´t even remember what I wrote last time, so I´m going to recap and please forgive me if I repeat. Morocco was amazing. A unique experience in every sense of the word.
