My Last class abroad....

Today was bittersweet, it was the last day of classes on one account and on the  other account it was my last class here in Barcelona and more than likely the last "class" I will ever have in Europe. Where has this semester gone? Handed in more papers during field studies class...all that is left is the paper on my independent travel to Stuttgart. 


Today was the fifth or sixth (can't remember) time that it rained here, and for our final field studies class we took a relaxing trip to a monastery on the outskirts of the city. It was a beautiful space even in the rain the manicured lawns, gardens, and terraces seemed celestial...it was a great end to a course full of captivating travels around the city throughout the semester! 


Finished up the FINAL renders for studio today....all that is left is "retouching" the plans and sections tomorrow then fine tuning our presentation. Only one more day till the FINAL REVIEW!
