Music Boxes

I said I would probably only write one last blog post but I think there might be 2 or 3. We are nearing the end! I will be back in Texas one week from today. I have taken 1 final so far and have 3 more to go (2 tomorrow and 1 Monday). So far it's been relaxed but I'm not looking forward to the 2 tomorrow :/
Tuesday I was able to go back to the Alianza one more time to talk with my friends. One of them thanked me for helping them learn English several times this semester. I must say I was not expecting a 'thank you' because truly they taught me more than I taught them. I will miss them dearly but maybe we'll see each other again someday.
A few other events of note:
Friday (after finals) is our trip to the cerro and a British high tea at Hotel del Prado. I've always wanted to have a high tea, but never thought it would happen in Montevideo, Uruguay. It should be fun. Then on Saturday night, we're having an asado (a cook-out). Everything else is packing, cleaning, donating and saying our goodbyes :(
Lately I pulled up the songs from Rigoletto on YouTube. Its a movie that my grandmother owns that is one of my favorites. The music is beautiful but the lyrics are important too. One song talks about how music boxes have a song inside them. It relates people as the same; one they open up we can hear their song. Es verdad! We just have to take the time to listen. I have learned so much about myself, the world and people in general. Studying abraod really does broaden your worldview but allowing yourself to be transformed is your own choice. I would love to show people what I've experienced, but unfortunately most people will only hear my stories. Besos.
