This trend will be continuing until I leave on a plane a week from today. -- the goodbyes, the packing, the erasing of my don benito life. The emotion of it all is finally hitting me.

Wrapping Up life
So it has been a strange week so far. I have been saying goodbyes and closing things out. I feel like I am undoing everything I did at the beginning. Like I had to go to city hall to void my statement on residency in don benito. I went to the back to transfer all of my saved money to my US bank account and close out my Spanish bank account (this hasnt happened completely yet-- it was kind of difficult). I am packing everything-- all the stuff that I had found a place for and organized. I have this weird void sensation that sense I am un-doing everything I did before that I leave with no lasting mark on Don Benito. Not that I should have one, but that its like when I leave everything continues on and no one will remember me. I mean I know my friends will remember etc etc. But I have no lasting legacy. Don Benito was an important part of my life, albeit short, but it always will be, but Im not an important stage or a stage at all in Don Benito's long life. That kind of makes me sad. This experience has been so wonderful for me, and I wish I could have done the same thing for the town I have been in. But thats the way it always is with these type of things.
