“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” It was with these inspirational words from Mark Twain that I made the decision to move to Spain five years ago. As an American girl living in Barcelona, I love exploring this new continent and discovering the adventures that life in a different country can bring.

Maybe a year is enough . . .
The last 24 hours have been one of the rare times where I've been thinking maybe a year in Spain will be enough! The incessant rain (which apparently never lasts this long), my leaking house (that has yet to fixed), frustrating landlords who want us to pay rent even though our house is unsafe, roommates who smoke in the house although it's supposed to be non-smoking, and again feeling stressed about money when I thought I was finally getting somewhere have caused me to not wake up on the right side of the bed this morning! Knowing me, I will most likely be feeling cheerful and positive in a few hours, but at that moment, I am missing the comforts of home more than ever! :( I'm off to Spanish class, which I am very excited for - hopefully it will turn my mood around and remind that I love Spain, regardless of how differently things are done!
