"In the end, I've come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you" - Eat Pray Love

Exams Are Over, Spain Awaits.

Finally, the infinite hours of studying, bleary eyes and Alpine coffee are over and in only 4 short days I will be on a plane. Unending to-do lists and an unpacked bag await but regardless on Tuesday morning a Jetlagged Colin, Hillary and I will be finding our way through the capitol of Spain. This trip will be my first to Europe so I am filled with nervous excitement. We're starting the summer in Madrid for two days before heading to Sevilla to start the Study Abroad program. A few of my friends are also coming to Madrid on Tuesday while the rest are joining us on Wednesday. Madrid is one of the top 3 largest cities in the EU only behind London and Berlin. It upholds a modern infrastructure while retaining the historic atmosphere of Spain I cannot wait to experience. I am sure my friends and I will find some great ways to enjoy Madrid and kick off our time abroad. Anticipation abounds as I look forward to leaving and I cannot wait to begin a summer that promises to be the best of my life thus far.
Madrid, Spain
