In a rather novel twist of events, I've found myself a member of a girly group of friends. These girls are all experienced "girlfriends" with them all having oestrogen laden groups back home. I have never really been part of something like this before. I now realise it's kinda magical. I had a best friend for a long time but it was just me and her. To my detriment, I learned that the dynamic changes when more are added to the group. This new one was formed rather naturally though, and it's been incredibly pleasant so far. We have become the Sex and the City of Oviedo. Minus the sex. Almost minus the city too. I think of Oviedo as more of a glorified town, much like my beloved Galway. Aristotle said "A true friend is one soul in two bodies." I'm afraid I'll have to disagree, old chap, because this group couldn't be more different. I don't like to commit myself to heaven or hell as you see, I now realise I'll have friends in both places.
Would we be friends if circumstance hadn't forced it upon us? Maybe not. But I'm sure glad it did. Maybe I'm just getting sentimental as I'm almost an Erasmus Alumna. In less than 2 weeks we are being forcibly disbanded. For some it's farewell for a summer. For others it's a bit more permanent. This is coming to an end. I'm not ready. I can't wait for summer and I'm leaving college with a bang next year, but I just wish we had more time. I'm jealous of the outbound Erasmus kids with this all ahead of them. I just want more time.
In other news, I was over-zealous with my tweezers this morning and I have a bit of a startled earwig look about me. This opened my eyes to the importance of eyebrows. Big Yellow Taxi is on repeat in my head. "Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got, til it's gone." Not the greatest look for the hundreds of pictures that are inevitable in the coming week. I don't think Dr. Suess is going to help me out this time though. I think I am going to cry because it's over. A lot. I don't think Dr. Suess ever went on Erasmus. Stay tuned for more rabid ramblings of an over-emotional college student trying to part with her glory days.
Some feel-good (or maybe just feel better) music.
