I don’t care what anyone says, the best fight in a movie is in Lion King when Scar and Simba duke it out in the fire. That shit is intense. I’m cringing watching this… How did I ever watch this movie as a child?!
Also, best line in a movie goes to Timon. “What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?”

Dear ovaries,
I’m sorry for not getting pregnant. But don’t you think you’re overreacting just a bit?!
I haven't had human interaction in three days.
Yeah, I’ve gone grocery shopping and running through the park. But I didn’t talk to anyone, as I was shopping and running.
I don’t even know if my voice still works.
Really?
Train Man left on Friday to go see his parents. He was supposed to come back that night. He sent a message saying that he was going to study over there and come back on Sunday (which I actually told him to do, but not for all weekend). Just got a message saying that he’s staying there until Tuesday now.
So I am living with someone who’s never here. I don’t know if this is...
This isn't growing up.
You would think that being alone in a foreign country would teach you how to grow up. So far, I’ve found that to be a lie.
I started thinking about this when I made the decision today to miss my close friend’s graduation and a killer pool party for university students in Valencia to make my CV and apply for jobs. I told myself, “Wow, Brittney, you’re growing up. Instead of...

This is my friend Jose, whom I’m incredibly fond of. He is the reason that I now do have a ticket home to America. He called my agency and paid for a new flight.
He is going to hate me when he sees that I’ve posted this. But everyone go and thank him please! And check out his other blog...

Things didn’t work out ha. Not even in the slightest. But this is life and this is going to be one hell of a summer…

This process has been a rollercoaster.
So, I’ve decided about ten different times in the span of two days to come home. I’ve decided nine different times to stay. As I was packing yesterday (as my flight left yesterday), I told myself to see if my card worked to change my flight (as it was super cheap to change and I’ll never have the chance to live in Spain for that little again). I called the agency. Instead of...
Haha.
So, if I don’t find around $250 by 10 in the morning tomorrow morning I lose $600 and don’t have a flight back to America ever, thereby forcing me to find another $1,300 dollars to buy a flight later.
Anyone have some money lying around to donate to the “Get Brittney Home” fund? This is what happens when you take risks and get lied to. Not a great combination.
The world was on fire and no one could save me but...
America.
You know I love you. We’ve been through a lot together, and I’ll never forget the years that we’ve had. You’ve meant a lot to me, you’ve sheltered me, given me a great family and wonderful friends… I know it’s been tough for both of us for me to be flirting with Europe, but I had no choice.
Well, I want you to know that I still love you greatly. You will...
I should probably stop being so emotional and...
But I don’t waaaant to.
The thing I hate about myself
Is how often I feel like I have to justify what I’m doing. No one else is asking that of me, so why am I demanding it of myself?
Listen
Shoot.
Train Man asked me what the possibility was of me staying this summer, to which I said slim. His response? “Then I’ll come study English in America this summer.”
Things are moving rather quickly with this one. Kind of really okay with it. We’ll see what happens, eh?

I’ve found this to be incredibly true.
Train Man
“Como quieras” is the phrase that I heard the most these past two days. I finally went on my first real date as an adult outside of the Adventist system and it went above and beyond every hope that I had placed on it. Train Man was a perfect gentleman; we went to dinner and walked around Valencia. He invited me back to his house, but not to make a move (I actually missed the last train...
Today, my worst fear in Europe came true.
I’m always worried that I will get stopped by authorities asking for my passport, as I don’t have proper documentation to be a student here. Today, I got asked for my documentation by La Guardia Civil.
I was walking back to my school with a friend when they drove by, did a U-turn (so they were driving the direction we were walking), did another U-turn, and parked next to us to...

Sometimes silence really is the best thing.
I could tell her everything that I’ve felt, every thought and hurt that has resulted from her and her words, from our “friendship.” I could reveal how I feel about her and how immature she is, how she lets her emotions run too wild and it drowned everything we had. I could spill how underappreciated and devalued I felt by being her friend.
But even if she would listen, it...

I met someone on the train.
There were plenty of seats available, but he chose to sit by me. I was reading a book and trying to not steal too many glances, And he had his headphones in to drown out the world. I put my book down. He took out an ear bud. I asked about the soccer game. He smiled at me. My stop arrived and he gave me two Spanish kisses, And as I walked through the platform and he disappeared His eyes were still...
To throw clothes on and go to dinner...
Or stay wrapped in this fuzzy blanket reading…
These are my options.
Clothes and food? Or blanket and book?
I want them both.

He is just too silly to handle.
Ever since I met him, he put a smile on my face. I went to sleep smiling because of him for three days straight, and tonight, after his call, I will do the same. He does anything to make me laugh and that’s why I want him in my life.
Damn you, Barcelona, for claiming him.
The internet is so convenient
what the fuck should I make for dinner
what the fuck should I listen to now
what the fuck should I do today
what the fuck should I do with my life
where the fuck should I go for drinks
what’s the fucking weather
Jolly good.

I'm not a romantic.
I don’t live to hear poetry drip from your lips, the webs that your words weave, trying to entice me, snare me, to make me feel like they’re more than concoctions poised as truth.
I don’t care for your slow kisses, the way your eyes half close as you start to lean in, trying to beckon my lips forward to match the glacial pace that yours are advancing, as if those seconds are...
I live for these moments.
The ones where everything makes me smile, things fall gently into place, and life roars on with me there, taking in every second of every adventure.
These are the moments that are most infrequent and fleeting, but I cherish them the most. I am overwhelmed with blessings right now, I can’t help but laugh as I sit here typing. What a life I lead.

I'm going to fail all my classes this quarter.
Ask me why. Go ahead. I’ll tell you. I’m not ashamed.
I’m going to Sardegna. It’s going to be one of my last vacations before I come home. I knew I wanted to go somewhere - have one last huzzah - in Europe before my return, and this opportunity presented itself.
I really can’t say that I’m beat up about missing four days of school. Sure, my teachers will kill...
