less than two months left

Right now im just feeling a little jealous of some of the other AFS students blogs jajaja. Jacob Spetzlers blog http://jacobspetzler.tumblr.com/, and pretty much everyone elses... guess thats probably because i haven't spent any time doing it. I guess ill give you all a verrrrry short summary of what has happened since the last time i posted anything, which was when i visited Bilbao and stayed with Jacob. Sooo, this is harder than it may seem and harder than it should be, but im going to try to find, for me, the single most important event that has happened since then. AHAH! It would have to be the camino de santiago. It wasnt as life changing as i wouldve liked it to be nor like all the people on the internet say it should be, but it was pretty cool, and I did make quite a few friends in those five days of walking and one day of rest....and twelve hours in train. I guess ill just go for my first long post and explain everything, sorry guys.
So, before all of this, I was planing on going on a trip with some other exchange students to málaga in the south of spain for the "semana santa". But, a few weeks before this poorly(well i shouldnt say poorly planned, just tediously, stressingly and loosly planned) planned trip was to take place, i got a message from AFS telling me that we might do the camino de santiago, at first i wasnt sure if i would do it, but my host mom made sure i would. And now im glad I did it, it was an awesome experience and plus, according to the catholic church, i have 3 years of pardoned sins. We walked a total of 110km in five days so an average of about 22km a day. My mind is kinda racing right now and im very distracted so im not going to go through all the days, but ill tell you that at the end we all felt pretty accomplished. And we were all pretty good friends by the end of it all.
In short these has been a great month and a half, a crazy, fast, weird and i guess, if you think about it, life changing month and a half. I hope to update soon about this coming weekend when i go to madrid.
