Today has been filled with many emotions. I realized I leave Lisbon in a week (ok 6 days) and my thoughts are all over the place now. Sad because I don't want to leave. Happy because I'm starting somewhere new and beautiful again. Scared because I have to become accustomed to another strange city. Nervous because I'll be alone. Worried because I start school. I just hope I like Murcia as much as I like Lisbon, but I doubt that's possible. I hope I can make friends. I'm really outgoing, but sometimes it's hard for me to make friends because I'm scared to show people the real me. I'm pretty weird and unusual and mostly don't get along with girls, so we'll see how things go. I'm going to miss living by myself. At least I'll have my own room, but I think I have 2 or 3 roommates. Fuck I'm going to start freaking out again like I did before I came here. It's just really overwhelming when you have no idea where you're going and you don't know a single soul there. I'm excited though, I love doing shit like this. I had an awesome day today; I hung out with a new friend and we went to the aqueduct which is somewhere I'd never been nor knew you could even go, so that was cool. The views from up there were amazing. Oh wait, but first we stopped by this garden / park called Jardim da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation). Calouste Gulbenkian was a British business man, art collector, and philanthropist of American Origin. So, the foundation focuses on fostering knowledge and raising the quality of life of people throughout the fields of art, charity, science, and education (I'm taking all this information from their website https://gulbenkian.pt/en/the-foundation/about-us check it out if you'd like to know more lol). Basically, it's just this beautiful park with a lake and some cool architecture and an amphitheater. I only took two pictures there lol. Ok so after that, we went to the aqueduct! To end the adventure, we went to the most amazing place ever, Lx Factory! There's shops and restaurants and art and it's just a really cool place as you can see below. I went home, took a nap, then went out, bought a new book (!),and played Pokemon at the spot. Ran into one of the guys I met last time I was there, so I sat with him. Now I'm really tired which is good because I'll hopefully be able to fall asleep easily tonight. I have to wake up early tomorrow morning because I get to babysit my favorite 9 year old!!! All is well in the world.
