So I've decided I'm going to be a city tour guide. Yes, I realize the irony of having a masters degree and on top of that studying Spanish my whole life so I could give tours around the city--in English no less. But listen to this: Yesterday I was looking around online for jobs because I should be getting residency/a work permit in about a month ( Read more... )

I'm really jealous of people who are about 5 years ahead of me financially and are getting amazing deals on houses right now. Like $100,000 for a 2 bedroom house in a decent part of Riverside. Not that I want to live there, but still. It just makes me wish that I had a few thousand bucks to invest since it's the perfect time for investing. Not like ( Read more... )

i wrote a letter a couple weeks ago to one of my mom's friends thanking her for the influence she's had on my life without even knowing it. i have yet to mail this letter. in fact, it's taken me two years to even get this far to the point where i even wrote it so who knows how long it will take me to send it. even though i think one of the best ( Read more... )

Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always ( Read more... )

Realmente no tengo ni el tiempo ni la energía esta semana para escribir algo, creo que debiese porque ya es casí mi última semana en Vermont y no he escrito mucho mientras estaba aquí. Quiero escribir brevemente sobre dos fenómenos muy curiosos que me han ocurrido en las últimas cinco semanas. El primero es la inabilidad de entenderme a mí mismo ( Read more... )

Ya acabó mi primer fin de semana aquí y realmente siento ahora más como estoy en casa. Me he divertido muchísimo este finde. Todo empezó con un correo electrónico sobre una reunion de algo de arte que decidí asistir sin saber que sería. Pues, fui al edificio de arte e hicimos túnicas (con pinta) para un festival inca. El sábado tuve que despertarme ( Read more... )

Hoy es mi tercer día aquí y es el 4 de julio. No tengo nada que hacer hoy, así que me desperté tarde y he estado a mi escritorio todo la mañana en mis pyjamas. Es difícil decirlo antes de empezar las clases (lo cual haré mañana), pero realmente me encanta esta escuela hasta aquí. Tenemos reglas muy interesantes. Como, por ejemplo, puedo hablar por ( Read more... )

~~~to anyone who may read this~~~
I'm now enrolled in a grad school program at Middlebury College in VT, and I'm not allowed to read, speak, or write in English for the next 6 weeks. I decided I want to keep a journal of my time here, but being that I need to write in Spanish, that's what I'm going to do. Translate if you feel like it, but this is ( Read more... )

I don't know what in the world made me want to write in here tonight. Maybe the fact that I have to wake up in 3 hours to board a plane that is taking me to the beginning of the rest of my life. I'm at this crucial point in my life, and I think having to say good bye to Dollen after dinner tonight made it finally hit me. I'm now officially a ( Read more... )

Even though I haven't written in here in probably a year, I just felt like there were some things I needed to write, even if it's just for myself. I just got back from visiting Emily in Prague. I went to Madrid for a couple day and now I'm back to being depressed. On the 13 hours plane ride home I was seriously thinking about leaving school. I ( Read more... )
