Cansada (Kansas City)

Today was my first day of classes and it was great but now I'm exhausted and just want to sleep--I'm justifying my nap as a "cultural experience" because siestas are definitely a thing in Spain (somewhat). It already feels as though Spanish is becoming a thousand times easier and I'm excited to be taking all sorts of classes in a foreign language.

Perhaps relatedly (is that a recognized word?), my time in Spain has made me think more about life after graduation. Ironically, all of the excitement and wonder here has helped me realize how much I love Kansas City. There's still plenty of time to consider this, and I'm probably going to change my fickle mind a thousand times because I can't make plans for anything, but it's seeming more and more likely that I could end up in K.C. after I get my degree. At least for a few years.

But because I would feel badly if I weren't consistent with this blog, here is a photo I found from the day after Thanksgiving.
