the last post

When I think back to my first week in Barcelona I remember feeling excited but also a little nervous as it felt like years before I would be home again and February sounded a world away. As I sit here and write this back in grey london I can't believe that I was there for 5 months. Time has never flown by so fast!! I was home in a blink of an eye and I still can't quite believe that I'm back for good and my time there is over. All I want to do is get on a plane and go do it all again, which must mean I had an amazing time and I really did. I feel like I learnt alot as a designer but the real growth for me was personal. On a personal level I got so much out of it and proved to myself I am able to put myself into unknown situations and as a result my confidence has grown and I know there isn't much I couldn't do by myself. But saying that having someone there with me is what made the experience what it was. I think both me and Becca would agree that the time there might not have been quite so easy of we had to do it alone and that our friendship is now stronger than ever and we have shared an amazing experience together that will always be ours and keep us close.

I always knew I wanted to do an exchange so I didn't need any persuading when we were given the opportunity but I am so glad I did it. I would strongly recommend it to anyone and although I absolutely loved Barcelona I think I would have had an amazing experience no matter where I went because going away and doing something exciting with a close friend is going to be amazing where ever you are! But in a beautiful city like Barcelona it was impossible to not have the time your your life and I really did! keeping a blog isn't something i find easy as I'm not always motivated to do it and writing about my life and experiences doesn't feel natural to me but whilst away i made a massive effort to keep up to date and do it properly and now as i read back through old post I'm so happy i have been made to do this. it will always be something i can look back to with fond memories and it means all the silly things that happen will never be forgotten.
