my bags are packed, i´m ready to go

On some hard days on this trip all I could wish for was my own bed in an English speaking town, but now I am feeling sentimentally attached to my neighborhood here in Madrid. I have packed my bags and went to the computer lab one last time to check up on things before I head to Sweden and now I am feeling sad! I do want to leave and continue on with life, but it is hard to conclude such an experience.
So here I am ready to go, filled with these new lessons and experiences, but for some reason I feel like I need to sit and cry for a while. It is a sad sight to see my closet empty and the bright blue room just as I entered it. I have come and gone as many other students. Hopefully I will have myself together by the time I get to Sweden.
Carmen bough some Sidra for dinner tonight so we can have a toast. That should be lovely. So farewell Madrid, it has been a great time.

I understand, I really do; having had to settle in and leave so many times in my life as well. I went back and looked at your sweet little blue room, to me just a blue, sparcely decorated room, but to you now with many feelings and memories attached.
You will collect yourself and do well in Sweden.
Merry Christmas from Dublin, Becca!
