I have met an angel this first month

Now the first month is over, and what a month! I have made SO many close friends already, I never though it could have happened so fast. I have specially become very close to the once from Madrid - and even more concrete: LAURA. She is an angel send from above! They all are, but Laura, Laura, Laura.. How can I describe her in the best possible way.. As I've mentioned before, I am going to Madrid in February, for my practical placement, and I am pretty nervous. (Okay, I might as well be honest..) I am VERY nervous! Not for the placement. For that I can't wait! But the whole "being away from everything I know, for 6 months", that's pretty scary to me! But Laura has helped me in every way you can imagine. She is searching for a place to live for me, she has introduced me to her mother, brother and friends (over Skype, and the once that have visited her), she has taught me Spanish, she has taught me how to make tortillas -which I love! And most of all, she showed me what a really good friend she is, when she came to visit me every day this weekend, were I have been lying at home, with an enormous pain in my back. Her and Bea (sweet sweet and very funny Bea), came and made me dinner (delicious frozen pizzas) and just talked. I couldn't have asked for anything more! And even though I'm still scared of going to Madrid, I'm not terrified any more, cause now I know that I have a close and very good friend when I go there. :)
