Input MAY be appreciated.

Today was such a beautiful day in Murcia. I took the first half of my final exam for Turismo Sostenible. It seems like a weird concept, I know, but it's essentially like a midterm...three weeks before classes end...
It was the sort of test that I could have done really well on or really poorly on...I just won't know until I get it back.

The real reason I am writing is to solve my biggest current dilemma. Okay, it's not a major life crisis or anything, but it seems like a big decision to me!

My last final (the second half of Turismo Sostenible) is June 14th and I currently have a plane ticket home for June 30th.

Finding that most of my friends would already be flying home before then, coupled with a sizeable dose of homesickness, led me to question coming home early. Natalia, the girl who I flew here with, is leaving the 13th so I thought about flying home with her. In SEVERAL moments of weakness, I have tossed the idea back and forth.

Yesterday, I met with Kayla for brunch at Cafe Moreno. We realized that we would both be in Murcia from June 15th on...and weren't entirely sure if we were willing to cut our trips short. We tossed around a new idea: "backpacking" through eastern Europe. Possibilities: Turkey (Hagia Sophia), Lithuania (Hill of Crosses), Croatia (Plitvice), Slovenia, maybe Romania, etc. Presumably, we would return to Murcia right at the end to pick up our luggage...then head home!

The verdict is still out on what I will do... but that's basically the current dilemma.

On a pretty note, this is what it looks like in Murcia right about now.

Taken with my cell phone--quit judgin'!
Also...it depends if I have any money left... let's see how far this stipend takes me!
