So after much debate and birds in the head, I´m going to Austria this weekend for the PBI interview!!!!  I´m VERY nervous and to be honest, I can´t wait until Sunday (after interviewing on Saturday) because I´ve been nervous for a while now and I want to get back to not being stressed!  I´ve been practicing as much as I can, despite Madrid´s ( Read more... )

 .. and now it´s all happening in my own head.  I´ve never been good at making decisions, which I´m sure all of you know.  Whenever I put together enough little pieces that are floating around in my head, a big gust of wind comes by and blows them all away, leaving me more confused than before ( Read more... )

last Thursday, I came home, and luckily the neighbors had the internet connected, so as I usually do, I checked my email.  I had received an email from Vueling, saying ´fly last minute this weekend with free tickets, just pay the taxes´ so I took a look.  Lo and behold tickets to Rome were included!  As further coincidence would have it, Alessio, a ( Read more... )

Happy Easter!!  I can´t believe that Easter has already come and gone!  I remember talking with my workmates right after Christmas and they were telling me that the period from Christmas until Easter is the longest part of the year and now that´s all over!  Time has truly been flying-- where is it going?!  I have Hannah, Carlos, Raúl and cool ( Read more... )

So I just saw this quote and liked it:

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours...If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." -- Henry ( Read more... )

This month in class we´re studying ´animals´ and today I was talking to my 4 year olds about the difference btwn. wild animals and pets and then told them that they had to draw a picture of their ´dream pet´..

I went around asking each one which animal they wanted to draw and when they told me, I wrote the name of the animal at the bottom and they ( Read more... )

So today I was teaching my 4 year olds the letter ´U´ and showed them a picture of an ´umbrella´ when Alvaro, one recently turned 4 yr old asks in his funny as ever tone of voice:

¨Jenny, sabes la canción umBRELLA?¨ (do you know the song ´Umbrella´) and then started singing ¨umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh..¨ with a couple of the others in class!!!! :P ( Read more... )

OK, for Joel.. What do I live for?  Well, experience.  It´s all about doing for me.  You can watch movies, read books, see pictures, listen to others, but I think it´s all about experiencing for oneself.  And what exactly is an experience, well, that´s a good question, though a number of my most memorable experiences involve sharing with other ( Read more... )

.. so Wim from Belgium got internet, an email account and MSN for the 1st time this weekend and we´ve been making good use of them! ;)  jaja  It´s been a long time since I´ve cried, I can´t even remember, but now I am here all teared up, but in a good way...  that week in Belgium was truly the BEST and the people in Kerksken are the BEST as well ( Read more... )

 so I have these 2 brothers that are ADORABLE!!  and today, not only 1 but both of them made my day!!!!

Pablo, 2 yrs old, at the end of today´s class:  ¨Bye, bye Jenny.  Thank you¨ (he comes from a polite family, in which his mom often says ´thank you´ , but coming from a 2 yr old by himself, woah!)
