And I don’t really feel like it now.

Welp, I graduate college in 28 days and I go to this place in 66:

Dominical, Costa Rica. Going with my boyfriend (Future fiancee and husband as soon as he hurries the fuck up on making that happen.) and I’m so excited! We’re gonna zip line, ride horses by water falls, snorkel, hike, see volcanoes, and other stuff.

This summer we’re also moving in together, I’m seeing Drake, going to Cubs and Sox games (My first time), going to Nashville, going to Cedar Point, going to Lollapalooza, and other fun stuff. I can’t wait for this summer…I feel like my life is finally going to start and I be all that I wanna be…’n shit.

I had the strangest revelation when I walked back to my apartment from the gym in the blustery flurries of snow. I met some of the most important people in my life in 2011.

That shit cray.

“Spain is not Spain.” “UCONN is not UCONN.” Seeing this under the #Granada tag just absolutely cracked me up. I am surprisingly not responsible for this, considering how much graffiti and nonsense can be tied to me in that city.

ahh saw this every damn day I went to school…except the UCONN stuff wasn’t there at that time.

Well I WAS enjoying my American life until I logged into Tumblr and went through Dani’s Tumblr, saw pictures of Granada, then found other blogs about Granada. WAHHH. I was there a year ago at this time. My boyfriend says I’ll go back one day and to stop crying (…) but I can never recreate the memories I had created there. I won’t meet Allison and Jen again, whom I still hang out with here. Our adventures learning about Spain life won’t happen again. Learning about all the discos, the botellón and the chupitería won’t happen again. I won’t become the homewrecker to a Moroccan couple again. I won’t black out so bad in Málaga that I can’t open my eyes. I won’t pull out street signs with Dani and Matteo and Edoardo again. I won’t marvel at the Alhambra like I did when I first laid eyes on it - although the Mirador de San Nicholas will always be one of my favorite spots ever.

I had a sad dream where I flew to Madrid with my mom, ended up losing her on the way to Granada, and when I went to see my señora, she didn’t remember me. My worst fears. The other night I took my best friend to a tapas place nearby. I went there with my mom the day after I got back from Spain (Because the thing I wanted when I got HOME from Spain was Spanish food.). I spoke Spanish to the waiter, and he remembered me from my visit last May. On Wednesdays, a flamenco guitar player serenades the crowd and since it was my friend’s birthday, he came over and sang for us. I told him I lived in Granada and he played that one Granada song. I almost cried.

I had such a fun, relaxed life over there, so different from life stateside. Hell, it took me long enough to ellipt off the pounds I gained from cheap 50-cent boxed wine, paella and Nutella. I’m still not sure which I prefer - Chicagoland or Granada. Life here is comfortable and familiar, but Granada has its own magical aura.

I know I’ll be back sometime soon, but it’s just sad that it won’t be the same.
