Summing up

hi there...

I have finally found a way, a proper way I hope, to end up this blog I've been more or less regularly updating since my arrival in Linköping (actually a lil earlier, middle june).
this is very strange, thinking that being back in Madrid is not temporary but definitive (at least until I manage to finish my degree, hopefully next year...), being back with my parents, seeing old friends,... but also being in touch with all these wonderfull ppl I've met in Linköping. I cannot miss out very special ppl, como tú Giulio :) I look back 1 year ago, I think about the fears and uncertainties that sorounded my departure to Sweden. I think about this year now and... really no words :)))) a huge SMILE and a lot of emotions...

I'm so thankful to everybody I've met in this wonderful experience, I've learnt from all of you and all of our experiences together :)

I was hard, very hard to leave Linköping. I have to say that it was probably one of the hardest weeks of my live :S but I survived to it! and I feel a lil stronger from that ;) but not invincible!
I'm ready to keep on learning, travelling, meeting, discovering,... even more than when I left to Sweden!

GRacias a todos y a todo lo que he vivido este año, jamás lo olvidaré!

Now... I feel like creating a new blog! still have to decide about the title, the colouring,... and what to write about! sometimes this writing has felt like a therapy (absolutely helpful!) so I might just open it to have a place to record what's going on in my life and in my mind ;)

cuidaros mucho! take very good care everyone!

leyre ;)

back back back...

more than 1month since I left Linköp but still no idea of what I should write to conclude this blog in which I have almost regulary uploaded my life....
not yet thought about a good closing but I want to leave here the lyrics of a song that reminds me of linköping a lot... the gym and Ana, our step lessons... haha good good memories....
it's been played a lot in the Spanish radio :)

It was so easy that night
Shoulda been strong, yeah I lied
Nobody gets me like you do

"Could I keep hold of you then
How could I know what you meant
It was not meant to compare to"

I know everything changes
All the cities and faces
But I know how I feel about you

"There's a mountain between us
But theres one thing I'm sure of
That I know how I feel about you"

Can we bring yesterday back around
'cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb I was wrong
I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

All that it takes, one more chance
Don't let our last kiss be our last
Give me tonight, and I'll show you

I know everything changes,
I don't care where it takes us
'cause I know how I feel about you

Can we bring yesterday back around
'cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb I was wrong
I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

Not a day passed me by, not a day passed me by
When I don't think about you
And there's no moving on, 'cause I know you're the one
And I can't be without you

Can we bring yesterday back around
'cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb I was wrong
I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

Can we bring yesterday back around
'cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb I was wrong
I let you down (I let you down)
But I know how I feel about you now

But I know how I feel about you now
Yeah I know how I feel about you now

have a nice Summer! :)

Enjoying the last days!

This days we've been having a very Spanish weather here in Linköping, almost 25ºC every day and a very nice sun! It doesn't feel as Sweden at all... moreover, yesterday a group of almost 20 exchange students decided to go to the lake in Motala... and I joined! we were there for almost the whole afternoon (Diane, Patate and I left earlier than the rest): A-E-I-O-U, some swimming despite the coldness of the water (it felt really good after a while!), sunbathing,...











and then coming back to Linköping for a great sushi evening at Aki's! which also included a nice bottle of Spanish wine, mmmm....



Patate has left today so yesterday everybody met in the bbq place for an informal farewell. Then we went to Natal's re-newed corridor and stayed there for a while (after having said good-bye to Miquel too, as he's left today also!). Just chilling, talking a little and realising that at this point of the year it never gets totally dark here in Linköping, not evening at 2am! it seems as if the sun is just about to rise again!

Natal and Momo will also leave tomorrow, this is a week full of farewells.... :S


pd.- Patate I will miss u!!!

Vinter VS Vår

these are 2 pics which I've taken in 2different times of this year here in Linköping, right near my house (on my way to the laundry actually...)
Two different times but really not so distant in time! the picture from the left was taken in mid-March (just before Giulio left) and the one two the right a couple of weeks ago (I think it was late April, before Ana left!)- weird that I take time into account remembering ppl's farewells...
It's the same group of trees: the one with snow, towards the laundry house- the one with flowers all over the place, coming back from the laundry to my place :)
















pd- shit I'm going to miss Sweden....

Good weather is back! (apparently...)


Yesterday was just the perfect perfect Sunday: morning run through the forest, afternoon lunch-fika in the forest for Paul's bday and pizza night at Anna&Matteo's place! so happy to be enjoying lasts weeks here :)))))) I just don't want to have time to think about leaving Sweden! :S
just for the record, the official countdown has started today: -2weeks to Spain....

pd- I love this pic witih Paul! (from his bday fika yesterday)
