Hasta luego

Well, I think the time has come to admit that I don't really have the time to update this blog on a regular basis anymore.  As I said at the beginning, the purpose of "Mi año en España" was to keep people back home updated, and to help me remember, but as I've entered into the last month of my nine months here, and two of the main people I started out writing this for (that's you, Mom and Dad!) will be here soon, I think my job here is just about done.

That being said, if something comes to mind that I really want to write about, or if I want to reflect when I get home in May, nothing's going to stop me from coming back here and doing so.  However my weekly (or what were weekly before I got too busy) posts have seen their last.

I want to thank you all for coming here and reading all I've had to say.  Nothing's more flattering than knowing that people find your thoughts interesting enough to take the time out of their days to read them!  I hope I've kept you entertained, or at least interested, and (though I shouldn't get carried away) maybe even intrigued enough to plan your own visit to Madrid or Spain.

Until next time, hasta luego

Audrey



Un beso.

Hola por un momento

I thought I'd drop by just long enough to apologize for not updating recently!  I have had the immense pleasure in the past few weeks of getting to host a friend from home in my apartment, traveling to Rome with a special someone, and almost going to London to visit my dad and a friend.



And now that my friend has gone, and my bags are unpacked (including the bag I packed when I thought I'd be flying up to London), finals season has descended upon us, further preventing me from having enough free time to write you all an interesting / in depth post.  But I wanted to just stop by and say hi, let you know I haven't forgotten about you, and update you on what I have (and have not) been up to.
