Last Day of work

I'm officially into the "lasts" section of my study abroad experience. Thursday was my last day at my internship!! I can't believe how fast it went. It seems like just yesterday I was nervously walking up to Antonio to ask for a job...in a language I didn't speak well. (I just realized that the wall next to me, in the kitchen, is green...that only took me three months to realize) Anyway, now I'm finished and it was the best part of my study abroad classes. I learned more from this internship than all of my other classes combined. Even beyond the Spanish language, I learned so much about life, culture, people, business. It really was incredible.

About my last day...

Antonio wasn't there Thursday, which was a bit sad, but Aurelio who is also fun to work with was there. So, I'm working away and chatting it up with Aurelio when HE walks in. The same guy that I wrote about from one of my first days of work...the old guy who professed his love for me and blew me kisses...decides to show up on my last day of work. Anyway, at first it's not bad because he is sober but once the alcohol starts the mouth goes right along with it. He asks me when I'm coming back because he wants to return every time that I'm there. I was quite happy to tell him that it was my last day. He continues with the questions, asking about the United States, my family, and my boyfriend. As if it's not hard enough to understand Andalusian Spanish add in some booze. He gets to the point where I can't understand a word he is saying and then he starts being a dirty old man. Even though I couldn't understand him, his body language let me know he was being inappropriate. Aurelio got mad at him and told me that it was better that I didn't understand what he was saying.

All in all, it was an interesting way to end my internship but I wouldn't have expected anything less. :)

Well, I'm off to continue studying for my History final
