Coming to a close...

As the semester comes to an end, finals are beginning. Ugh. I strongly dislike studying, and it is even harder when you´re trying to enjoy your last bit of time in Spain. We had our program´s "Bye-Bye" dinner Monday night at a restaurant in the Albyzin. My close friends and I grabbed the end of the table and had a pretty interesting evening. There was so much food! About 4 courses! Things got a little messy and the table cloth was left a little worse for wear. At the end of the evening Veronica and Jose gave us all a CD of a lot of the songs that have been popular in Spain this semester, and of course Jose made sure a Diana Ross song made the cut.
Monday I finished my Art History paper on the development of prehistoric art, yay cave paintings! Today I had a presentation in my POE class on Texas, and today was also the last day of classes because finals start tomorrow!
Tomorrow I have my Grammar and Islamic Culture finals, but it will be good to get 2 of them over with before the weekend. For our last weekend in Spain we thought it only appropriate to go to the beach! So off to Nerja again Friday morning. On Sunday I´ll go to church one more time here and then a few friends and I will have another all day study-fest of History. Our study group did pretty well on the midterm so we decided to have one again. Monday I have final exams in Art History and POE, and the test of death, History, is on Tuesday. This means that I have absolutely nothing on Wed, the day before I leave! This is probably good because, in all likelihood, I will be packing all day because I´m too busy until then studying. Of course we´ll have to go out for Tapas one last time and have one last kebab and saw goodbye to our friend Feras, whose kebab place we always go to. But don´t worry, we are all Facebook friends with him now so we´ll be able to keep in touch. We´re trying to convince Sara to invited him to her wedding next summer, I think he´d show up. Better yet, he should cater, kebabs for the reception!
