The end is near...

So I just spent 28 minutes on Skype with Air Canada to change my flight back home. This was necessary for two reasons:

1. I was slated to return to the States on July 6th, keeping me hostage in Madrid two whole weeks longer than necessary (my last day at school is June 19th).

2. I was slated to return to Chicago, not Denver (it was cheaper for me to purchase a flight from Chicago to Madrid and buy a separate flight from Denver to Chicago than to get a flight from Denver straight to Madrid).

In any case, I am now set to return to Denver on Saturday, June 27th. Which means that if I know my father (which I think I do), there will be some MAD CARNE ASADA on Sunday, June 28th. And that suits me just fine and dandy.

Sadly, I spent $55 more than I had anticipated spending on getting a flight back on that day. And since its on my credit card, it makes me feel yucky on the inside. However, I am planning on visiting one of my favorite Arabic-speaking, curly-haired super-Jew NU friends in Cairo right after I finish school, and this date was necessary in order for me to maximize time with her and ensure a speedily return home. Plus, I am going to be paying off my own debts soon (pending getting a job when I return, which hopefully will happen) and I'll feel less bad. AND this is the last bit of traveling I'm going to be doing for a long, long time I think. So in the long run, $55 USD is not much, really. It's the same thing I'd make tutoring on a Monday night. At least this is how I'm justifying these things.
