Today was a day to wrap things and tie up all the loose ends. I turned in our mobile internet. Gosh that thing has created some memories, like that time when we took it to Portugal without realizing there would be extra charges. Next it was off to the bank because Chus said they would convert my significant amount of change to bills. Unfortunately I missed the memo where you have to put your coins into those slips. The guy explained that to me, but then he counted it out and gave me the bills and told me I had to do it next time. What can I say? I am an American, and nobody told me.
Finished with my errands, I headed to school for my last two lessons with my third and fourth year students. My third years and I looked at pictures of my travels this year. Reduced down to one powerpoint, one slide per place, I am really impressed with all of the places and things I have seen this year. Somewhere along the way, I became that person. All the homesickness, boredom, uncertainty, and confusion was definitely worth what I got in exchange. I finished my classes with my fourth years, watching a presentation about a FC Barcelona football player. Each of the students has to finish the bilingual section program with an oral presentation and powerpoint on the topic of their choosing. Let's just say I have seen several on football and various football players. 
After the presentation, Chus told me we were going to the Salon de Actos for a surprise. Almost all the bilingual students were waiting there. I absolutely love the enthusiasm of my first and second years. I am truly going to miss them!! We watched a slideshow of me teaching and going on trips with the students this year. It was set to Home by Michael Buble, which is just not fair unless you are trying to make me cry. I managed to hold it together for them to present me with a sash and sort of diploma-esque paper. After followed many Spanish kisses and good-byes. I gave back my key to the school and all my English books, effectively ending this part of my life.
