So, depending on when I decide to fly home, this week (today, most likely!) is half way through my adventure here in Palencia.
My first thought: Eeeeeek!
Of course I am divided when it comes to being here: I love living here, but I miss home just like anyone in my situation would.
However, the bigger factor that I am now thinking is about what I have accomplished here and how much I have improved my Spanish.
Namely:
- Am I progressing at a steady enough rate?
- How good is my Spanish, really? Is it good enough?
- If not, will it be good enough by June?
- Am I doing everything I can to ensure that my Spanish is getting better?
- Should I be doing more/something else?
Yeah, tell me about it. Every day these worries spin through my mind until I just have to tell myself to stop thinking. I am trying to simply have faith in myself and the bigger picture. Breathe.
