Today was a long day and a little emotionally draining, but it made me realize that I have made some really strong friendships here in just a few months. It will be difficult to leave this new life that I have created for myself and start over again, but I know that it will be well worth it. I am already getting excited to come back a more confident Spanish speaker after 8 weeks of intensive courses in Buenos Aires. I can tell that the change will be good for me and am already trying to imagine what my life will be like there...It seems as though both Sam and I both needed a little break from our profound thinking to save a little energy for ourselves today. With that, I am going to sign off and head straight to bed. Goodnight.
