My alarm goes off at 2 am. What self-hating part of myself decided that this was a good idea? Note to my future-self: whenever I book a flight leaving Barcelona, don't book it before 7 am.

So I decided to give myself about an hour before I actually have to leave. I thought I give myself enough time to take a shower, pack the rest of stuff that I need and have breakfast.

I don't really need to pack as I have everything back home, so I just take my little beach bag with Marie's t-shirt, my charger, my book and my pal
