And so, as with all good things there must be a conclusion. It should not have been like this though. Eddie and Ellie and I spent two days in Granada and had an awesome time. I'll get some pictures up asap. We got back earlier tonight, Friday night, and after dinner Eddie started freaking out on his computer. Turns out his parents had originally booked him a ticket for Saturday the 10th. They were working on getting it all changed while we were in Granada so he could stay another two months; he was going to live with a different family and help teach their kids english, which is a path a lot of American students take. After dinner though his mom informed him they : 1. Never did manage to change the ticket. 2. Couldn't change it now, as it would cost 1000$ extra to move it back one week or eight regardless. 3. He needed to pack up and be ready to be on his 7:30 AM flight from Sevilla to Madrid.
He found this out at approximately 11:30, which meant he had exactly 8 hours to pack and say goodbye to the people he could say goodbye to. The list is woefully small. Ellie and I, as she was still awake. He's heading to meet one of his other really good friends halfway. She was in tears on the phone. I'm tired. There wasn't too much sleep to be had in Granada as we were having entirely too much fun. So maybe it's me being slightly exhausted but this is just too surreal. It was supposed to be me saying goodbye to Eddie a week from now and him staying on for a little longer. The silver lining is he's in Detroit which is a paltry three hour car ride from Ashland so I'll definitely be able to go see him at some point.
I'll be eating lunch alone for a week, for my last week. This can't be right.
