CHOICES!!!

Hi everyone!



Last Monday I went to the university like every day, but this week was different, it was the beginning of a special week. There were people from several countries, each one different, but all of them nice and amazing. I need to say that I arrive five minutes late, and I couldn’t meet them before of lesson’s beginning. But then, when I was paying attention to the teacher, I heard behind me a very typical Spanish word, “Hola”, it was the start of a great friendship.

He was Victor, one Spanish boy, from Barcelona, in this moment I felt a really big happiness inside me. Moreover, I also meet Aleix, other Spanish student. Both were amazing, in this moment I thought that the week would be full of good moments. And my expectations comes true.

We spent a lot and long time together, and sometimes one fantastic Portuguese “Duarte” came with us. He was a really nice boy, who pays attention to everything, and he helps you when he can, and moreover, he gives us really personal and meaningful present, one picture of them.(OBRIGADO) We spent all our time like children, and doing funny things.

We did together a lot of activities, excursions and some extra activities, we went to parties, and we were the last people who went to home (like always in Spain). It was a really important experience for me, I enjoy a lot with all international students, but today, everything is finish and I miss Spanish and Portugal boys more than the others.

Sorry, but it is the true, I know that every students were amazing, and it is almost impossible to make a really good friendship with new people with only one week. But in my case, I don’t know how, but it happens.

Maybe, because we spent too much time together, or maybe because I’m the only Spanish student in the Erasmus program, but I had a really good friendship with them and I hope to see them again when I will come back.

This international week was for me like a present, maybe because I’m living with seven wonderful girls, and sometimes I need boys to speak, they gave me what I need here.

Like I said before, we had really good moments, and every good thing have their own end. And it was yesterday. Friday, the last night, we had a party in Christina’s house, my Danish teacher and Victor’s host. Anyway, I think that she is the best host.

Party finished really late, everybody went and I decided to sleep there, because I wanted to stay with them in the moment when they take their bus. We only slept one hour, and then the awful moment arrives, we left from Christina’s house, and the mornng was cold,almost raining, anybody said nothing during the way to bus station, but I only heard the sad noise of Aleix´s luggage mixed with the wind. And finally they take the bus.

In this moment I felt that my place was in Spain, and maybe I could leave everything here and take this bus with them. But it was only a choice, like all in this life.

And today when I woke up, I understood that my place is Spain, and someday I will need to come back, but this moment isn’t yet. I need to stay here, because there are a lot of people who want enjoy of me, and they need me like I need them, I started this trip with my Erasmus team, and I will finish it with them.

I was all day thinking about this week, and I think that it is the first part of this Erasmus experience, because if today I met people for only one week, and when they left I had painful in myself, I can’t imagine what happens the day when all my Erasmus team will come back to their countries.

Maybe, we are sillies, because we knew that before coming, but life is full of choices and we decided to come here, even so we know that last day we will have a bad felling. Probably, one of the worst filling of our life, because it is like the famous show “BIG BROTHER” and today we are like a great family.

After that, some of my flat meets saw me a little bit sad, but it is normal, but specially Mariska teach me a song: “Always look on the bright side of life !!!” And then I felt better, now I only can say, that we must enjoy each minute of our life, and smile all time.

We must to keep the best moments of this experience, because last day is only one moment of this little trip, but this journey is full of small moments that we live everyday, and we need to try to remember all of them together in our small brain.

Please don´t forget that it was our choice. Problably the best choice of our life.
