that I’m already a quarter of the way through my life.
that I’ll be done with college in four months.
I’ll be back in the States by Saturday evening.
Spain felt like home when I returned from England.
that no one else in this country needs dryers.
how racist Spain unconsciously is (they have a cookie called “Filipinos”
that has white chocolate on the outside and brown cookie in the middle”)
that I've only been in Spain 24 days
that I’ve been in Spain for 24 days already.

how cold Michigan is. Ew.
how much I love chocolate
how much someone can become a party of your life. Roommates, novios, parents, dogs. (The order of that list is arbitrary.) My life right now is different mostly because of who I’m with, not where I am. If you think about the stages in your life, I am willing to bet you’ll find a similar pattern.
