Last Post....

Well, I'm home home. In south Florida. And damn, does it suck. okay, it's really nice to see my parents and home again, but it sucks because you can't really compare being in the Colosseum one day and then sitting at home in front of your laptop a few days later.

Or being rewarded with amazing macarrones after running your ass home in 100 F weather and then having to run back on a ridiculously full stomach 30 minutes later. I miss Sevilla more than anything else, especially the fun we had as a group, Mama y Papa, Andre (soft), and the city itself.

My biggest regret is that we didn't go hard enough, enough times. I can count on one hand how many times we did it big, and that's not enough for me. At least Andre and I tried to explore the city a few times, but I feel like we didn't do it justice. Seeing the Betis game would have been nice, too, but my sleep got in the way of that. We were also at a disadvantage as 6 weeks, no 5 weeks is just not enough time to live in that city. I envy the people who got to study abroad for 3-4 months. That's real living. And that's real money, too.

A weird thing was how rich I felt in Sevilla(well not rich, but I didnt worry about money as much) as compared to now back at home. It's like every dollar counts, but for some reason the Euro doesn't.

Not that I'm upset about that. If I had been my normal, frugal self in Europe, I would have had a horrible time.

Another major regret is the lack of souvenirs I bought. For some reason I forgot like everyone. I am actually really sorry about that, guys. The fans would have been a great investment, as Andre said, but I just kept putting it off. Stupid.

Oh well, next time I go, I promise I will get shit for everyone I missed this time. Cuz I'm definitely going back. Fo sho.

And then I'll revive this blog...so don't sleep on me, guys. Actually, you can. It may be a while.

Hasta luego, tios.

Preparacion

Okay, so I'm going to try to stay current with this blog. Hopefully, it shouldn't be too tough. I'm almost positive I'll be going online everyday to check things like email, facebook, sports, and all, and since this blogspot is connected with my Gmail account, I should remember enough to update it.

You guys should leave comments so that I will be reminded of its existence, knaamean?

Anyway, it's 11:35 am on Monday, May 11, 2009, and I leave for Madrid tomorrow at 11:20 am.

My flight's a bit wacky, as a few people have reminded me, but its because it was cheap people. I know it doesn't make sense to go from Miami to Dallas and then Madrid, but when your flight is under $600, you don't complain.

Anyway, I'm just waiting till tomorrow, getting all the last packing crap done(I know I'm going to forget so many things and think to myself- Why didn't I bring that? I wish I had brought this with me...but I guess that's how it's supposed to work, right?

I guess I'll post this blogspot's address online or something, maybe facebook.

I don't know if you have to join to leave a message, but if you don't, at least tell me who you are so I know who's hating on me when.

Not much else to say.....oh yeah, the name of the blog is corny, but I wanted to have real words which somehow made sense so you don't have to a. search for the blog, b. type in wack shit like DUJEIF.blogspot.com

It's real simple, just type: vivanikhil.blogspot.com and you're here. And of course, just bookmark it, homie!

That's all for now.

Hasta luego,

Nikhil


(ps please realize this could well be the only post I make. my bad)
