The first semester is over and done with!
The weeks after my friends left is when I started counting down, not because I wanted to leave Spain, but because I was craving some typical Belgian things... like family and friends :)
The two courses I had were winding down to some small tests and writing papers. A walk in the park compared to what Lessius demands of its students.
We had also gotten into the habbit of organising movie nights in the house. Just the flatmates, with some snacks and drinks.
All the movies were Christmas related, since we had to make up for Alcala's lack of holiday spirit.
The sun is shining, the trees still have most of their leaves...
For one of my classes the teacher onganised some extra time to watch a movie. In Belgium there's no way students would leave their home to come watch a movie in school, but this teacher is amazing. He is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had. "Bring the popcorns and McDonalds!" is what he said, so that's what we did!
It was a fun way of making something educative interesting.
The first semester marks the end of many things. Everybody's gone home for the holidays, and when they come back, it'll be two weeks of studying and then they're off home for good. Thankfully plenty students in Alcala are there on a year-long contract as well.
Coming back to Belgium was such a relief. Eating my favorite foods, seeing my favorite people.
I'll be here three weeks, working, studying, have some fun and than it's back to Alcala for sunny spring!
I finally got some pictures from when Kristiaan was here!
