Yes, I'm back!
Yesterday was my last day in England for the holidays and I felt sooooooo sad to be leaving, the two weeks I spent at home literally flew past! Between Christmas with my family, New Years with Azzedine and trying to see as many of my friends as possible I literally had no time to even take in England in all of it's beauty!
For everyone who kept complaining about how cold England was all winter, I can definitely confirm that Madrid is WAY colder right now! On my eerily empty flight back we descended into thick fog, I was seriously wondering how the pilot could see anything at all because all I could see out the window was grey. I'm so glad I waited until after my flight to watch the new Denzel Washington film because I can't imagine what kind of scenarios my overactive imagination would have been conjuring up otherwise!
Christmas fun has definitely caught up with me, I was so tired I fell asleep before the plane had even taken off (cue embarassing scene of head bobbing and dribbling). As a result, I got to Barajas a bit disorientated and slightly concerned about the fact I had to follow a rarely signposted route to collect my baggage, I actually had to take a train to get there. After I found my ridiculously heavy case I had the pleasant job of dragging my 30kg of clothes and shoes on the metro. I was outraged at being unable to top up my Abono (railcard) at the airport and instead having to fork out an extra five euros to get home, sly Barajas, sly....
Feels super strange being back, it didn't really feel like I was coming home, I still feel like a visitor right now! I'm sure once I unpack it will all feel more normal. Today will be filled with a lot of cleaning, washing and food shopping, exciting, I know. I'm so looking forward to eating some nice soup I made before I left for Christmas though, don't worry, I froze it before I left! The fact that this will be the highlight of my day probably says a lot about my life right now but I promise it will be more exciting veryyyyy soon!
Keep posted for more of my Best of First Term posts!
