An Emotional Week in Spain

This week, we've had some bad news in Barcelona.  There was a plane crash.  The plane left Barcelona yesterday morning, and it was on its way to Dusseldorf.  Somewhere in southern France, it went down.  I still don't know the cause of the crash, but I feel very emotional about it.

Several of the people I know here had friends or co-workers who were on that plane.  It's quite a tragedy.  The people here have really been affected by it.

It's also a reminder to never stop living your life.  Spring break is next week and a lot of people now seem afraid to fly.  By no means am I the most relaxed person in the world, but I don't want to miss out an any opportunities because I am afraid.  I'm still planning on travelling and living life to the fullest.  It's also a reminder to always be there for people.  I see so much selfishness in this world, and it really disgusts me when there are so many people in need or in pain. We have to enjoy our own lives, of course, but personally I cannot enjoy my life if I see others suffering.  Even if you're just doing something small here and there, show your loved ones that you care about them.  Show them that every day.

In other news, I'll be travelling to France next week.  More on that later, but I am very excited.  Also, I am working hard in my Spanish class, and I think I am seeing some progress which is absolutely thrilling to me.  It's strange how I am slowly acquiring more and more vocabulary, and every day I understand more bits and pieces of the conversations I hear.  I still cannot express myself very well at all, but the fact that I'm definitely learning is really encouraging.

Ahora, buenas noches porque estoy cansada.
