Last Week in Valencia

So I forgot I had one of these again.
My last week and some in Valencia hasn't been too excited. I spent a fair amount of time studying or napping at the beach, hung out with some new people and some old people, watched the Barcelona-Chelsea soccer game, said goodbye to people, and did some last minute shopping. I also spent some time panicking about traveling, and excited to see my family, and also feeling ill, for unknown reasons.
I also found out, to my great dismay, on my last day in Valencia, that there's a swing dancing club right next to my friend's place here. A SWING DANCING CLUB. I cried from the irony of it all.
Besides that, I packed, and everything fits, just barely, and tonight I leave on a bus for Madrid, where I will spend an uncomfortable night in the airport, catch a plane tomorrow afternoon for Paris, then a shuttle into the city, then two metros to the train station, then a train to Vannes, where my aunt will pick me and I will spend the night at her place. I'm very much looking forward to not sleeping for the next 36 hours or so.
This week I also: visited the Botanic Gardens, bought souvenirs, walked through the park one last time, and saw a Flamenco performance.
I would update more but nothing else is fantastically new. I haven't been feeling very well lately, but I think it might be nervousness for leaving. I'm also very sad to be leaving my host family, but excited to see my real family in France and England, then Anna and Sarah so soon. And after that, back home!
