A few days ago I was being lazy and decided to take a taxi to school instead of the metro. Watching the city and its people during that 20 minute ride made me remember that after the summer I won't be coming back to this place that has been my home for almost 2 years. And I'm not the only one to realize this.
The Spring Semester 2009 is not even half way through, and there is already a melancholy mood in the air. At least among those who are finishing their second year at Suffolk Madrid - because next Fall we won't enter the white gate of Calle de la Viña numero 3. Instead, we will walk around in Beacon Hill with thousands of other Suffolk students, freezing, and most definitely eating something from Dunkin' Donuts (I will, for sure!). Change is good, and we are all excited to go to Boston! But, I'm sure we will miss certain things about Madrid that we will only realize when we are not here anymore.
My friends and I did some brainstorming, and these are some reasons why we think Madrid is fabulous:
- the weather!
- lots of people everywhere, all the time
- the beautiful Royal Palace
- having lunch at 4pm, dinner at 11pm, going out at 3am
- PDA
- "Hola Guapa!"
- having a metro every 2 minutes to take you everywhere you want for 1€!
- SUMC professors/staff
- thoe whole having-a-coffee-thing
- Gran Via at night
