Oops

Oops, it's been almost two months. You may be thinking I haven't ambled much lately, but the truth is that I've been ambling so much that I haven't found the time to blog! If I haven't told you personally yet, yes, I did make some decisions about this summer and upcoming school year. After much prayer and thought, I decided to stay here a little longer...until August 19, to be exact. Then, I will be coming "home" to Michigan and teaching elementary Spanish at Holland Christian. I'm looking forward to a new challenge of working with elementary school children and developing the relatively new Spanish program there.

As for my time here, I finish aiding on June 19. On June 12, my good friend Julie from HC is coming and after I'm done at school, we'll head to Ireland for a week! I can't wait! Then, in July I will be teaching at an English day camp and continuing with some of my private English classes. In August I hope to do some serious traveling...along with the rest of Europe. In Spain, the whole country (except those who work in tourism) have the month of August off.

What have I been doing the last two months? Uf! (Spanish utterance of exasperation) Some of the highlights include: dating Guille my new Mexican boyfriend (see photo), going to beautiful Belguim and Switzerland, hanging out with my good friend Sarita (who lived here last year and visited from Boston), making cupcakes for my students (who had never tried them before), making decisions and plans (see above...again, uf), and just having a good ole' time in Madrid!
