It’s overrrrr! Ever since we wrote our proposal over a year ago for the Year Abroad
Research Project (affectionately known as the YARP) I have been dreaming of this moment. All those missed beach trips,
and weekends spent in the flat were hopefully all worth it (in reality I only
missed 1 beach trip and spent 2 weekends in the flat working, but it sounds so
much more dramatic this way), and I’m now free! However, in true Sarah style I’ve
managed to completely burn myself out and I’m suffering with a horrible cold,
so am forced to spend all day in bed. But luckily I can now do this without
feeling guilty.
As well as writing my YARP I had a much welcome break last
weekend as one of my oldest friend’s Tash came to visit. Unfortunately, the weather here resembles what
I imagine the weather in the North Pole to be like at this time of year so
finding out that Tash hadn’t brought a coat and had pretty much only come with
summer dresses wasn’t a great start. Despite the lack of suitable clothing we
battled through the elements to have an amazing weekend seeing the sights.
We had one very messy night which was unfortunate because every
guest I’ve taken out in Spain has been sick on the night out. While this may be
a bad reflection on me and my peer pressure drinking (which despite my brother
trying to claim otherwise is NOT true), I would warn those of you who aren’t used
to 4€ Spanish death vodka to go carefully because it’s quite a shock to the system.
I’m now looking forward to making the most of my last month
in Spain with no deadlines, no pressure, and absolutely no stress.
