circles and lines

I've been avoiding writing for a bit; not sure where to start. So many endings and beginnings. Hugs and kisses and goodbye's that I don't want to be goodbye's. Hello's, too.

summary? I'll try:

- left Portugal, back to Granada
- finished my thesis/project
- went to Barcelona, visited friends, went to tournament in Roses (north, almost in France)
- back to Granada, presented thesis--and not only passed but got a good grade! yay!
- lots of hanging out with close friends, trying not to let them be goodbyes...- to Madrid, more hanging out with close friends
- flight Madrid-> D.C. , picked up by good friend and taken to hang out in Charlottesville, VA w/ cousins + friends!
- up to D.C. again to see more cousins/friends and stroll through the monuments/museums, etc.
- flight D.C. -> Denver -> Tucson, picked up by Mom and Dad
- back in NM, doing laundry and eating green chili
- being daunted by next steps, and missing people like crazy


it might be time to retire this blog...
