My fellow classmates are great and we all love to have a good time.\u00a0 I hit it off immediately with my roommates, it&#8217;s like the 3 stooges&#8230;&#8230;we have been almost inseparable since.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The people\u00a0of Europe have been amazing!! Everyone for the most part is so helpful and friendly.\u00a0Salamanca is a beautiful\u00a0 quiet city.\u00a0The culture is\u00a0so rich and passion radiates throughout the region. The architecture of the buildings constructed centuries ago are simply breathtaking, and at times you have to just stop and take it in. \u00a0You have to remind yourself that this is all real and your in Spain right now, its definitely a mind trip.<\/p>\n<p>I am excited to see what the next two weeks hold but at the same time I am torn because I miss my daughter immensely.\u00a0 It has been really difficult for me to \u00a0be\u00a0away from her, although I talk to her everyday, it is not enough.\u00a0 All I want to do is hold her, give her a big\u00a0kiss, and tell her I love her (she knows:)) Its comforting to know, when I get back to the States me and her are going to have a blast.\u00a0 Mommy took the rest of the summer off to catch up with the family&#8230;&#8230;yay!!!<\/p>\n<p>The professors are fantastic and I am learning a lot.\u00a0 Our house-mom Lucy is the best house-mom ever another thumbs up!!\u00a0 There are some ground rules we all have to follow, but once we got use to them, everything went smooth.\u00a0 Well mi juentes&#8230;All I can say is, I am living the dream and loving it !! Adios, until next time xoxo&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.\u00a0 I love you Ciara!!
