Hola everyone!
Sorry this is being posted very late but I have been busy and haven't had time to set aside hours to blog!
So last Thursday my boyfriend came to visit!!! I had an amazing 5 days with him! We of course did all the touristy things; like Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas and George Payne! Just being able to spend time with him was great and I can't wait to see him again in 59 days :) I believe Josh had a good time getting to see where I have been living and will be living for a few more weeks! It makes me really happy to have been able to have this experience with him! We are using this as a stepping stone in our relationship and our future. Seeing Sagrada Familia and it still being built we made a plan that when it is finished we will take a trip back out to Barcelona to see it... (no big deal, only like 11 years away lol).

This is a silly picture to post, but it describes our relationship perfectly. I love this man so much and I can't wait to see him again.
After Josh left its been pretty hard on me. I have been wanting to be home pretty badly this past week but at the same time having Josh here gave me a little fire under my feet to continue to push through the rest of this process.
This weekend I chose to stay home and explore Barcelona some more. I was afraid that choosing to stay home would be a bad decision seeing how Josh just left, but surprisingly I am very happy I did. On Friday night I enjoyed another Barcelona night life scene with some of my girl friends. I was exhausted on Saturday but decided staying inside all day wouldn't be the best thing for me. Ten of us girls took the hike up to Tibidabo to see what that was all about. IT WAS GORGEOUS. I didn't expected it to be as breathe taking as it was. It was such a cool place. It was like a small version of Canobie Lake Park in Barcelona. The views from the top of the beautiful church were unreal. I took so many pictures but none of them do Tibidabo justice.

I added this picture because I was in love with the ferris wheel and the rainbow arrangement of colors. It is also one of the known items in Tibidabo. The picture below is from Parc Guell and you can see the ferris wheel from there (it's such an amazing sight).
Barcelona is such a beautiful place to study abroad with so many things to explore within the city itself. I am excited to continue my journey here in Spain and Europe. This week is a stressful one for me because its MIDTERMS... oh how fun! NOT. After this week is over I will be on my way to Madrid with the people in my program. This is the first over night excursion that our provider brings us on. I think it will be fun because it will be a "congratulations you surpassed midterms vacation"
My mom will be coming the Thursday that we get back and I can not wait to see her and explore Barcelona and Italy with her!
Hopefully I can updated everyone after Madrid and before my mom is here!
Today marks 7 weeks since I have been away from home! Crazy to think that I am almost half way done! These next 59 day are going to fly by and I am excited to see what the rest of my time in Europe is like!
Cheers to stress and midterms!!
With much love and hopefully less stress the next time I am writing!
Love always, Brye :)
