*Notes: the car I was riding in to get to the airport in Madrid to get back home on Sunday broke down/the battery died (I HAVE THE WORST LUCK WITH TRAVELING) and of course there is always more to the experience than in the video; this was just a quick recap. :] Orientation was held in Consuegra which is where Las Manchas are (aka where Done Quijote fought windmills and had many adventures!) and it was probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Loving Spain so far!
Other update apart from orientation weekend: I participated in clas today... Twice. What a win! I recognized the painting "El Tres de Mayo" by Francisco Goya and told my class that when no one else knew the painting, and I knew that Eros was the Greek god of love which no one knew again. Not to mention after school one girl said we should hang out sometime at her house. WOOP! MAKING FRIENDS! I guess I am not that weird after all if people want to hang out and text me!
God is being interesting in my life and for sure teaching me all about patience, alone time, and what I really should be praying for (what is really, really important and/or pressing.) "Love is PATIENT" and I am now understanding this concept. Alone time is good for me, helps me figure out how to actually manage free time and I can be with God, just us. And of course, college has been a pressing issue on my mind so I am trusting God will reveal to me and guide me to the right place but also the right thing to continue pursuing in life.
