Hello my fellow readers! It's been more than six months since I last wrote an entry on this blog. Since then many things I've happened. After a short but restful and fun summer I decided after much consideration to return to Spain and do a second year as a Language Assistant (read: assistant English teacher). I have lived in three(!) separate apartments, the last one in which I finally felt like I've found my home. It's now the middle of March, and now I've found myself in the very same crossroads (both physically and mentally) as I was last year: what do I do after this summer. I have been living in Madrid for nearly three years and have grown up, learned quite a lot, made a lot of friends; in other words, I've set up roots. At the same time, I have also thought a lot of moving back to the US and start finding work in the non-profit sector, the State Department, or in international organizations. Whatever I decide, it will be a very difficult decision to make, and in either case huge adjustments will have to be made.
Part of the reason why I started this blog was to express a lot of things on my mind. They say that expressing yourself is therapeutic; if that were true, I have failed miserably. I guess one part has been laziness, but on the other hand I have this fear of actually having to face up to reality (I think we all do, at some point). Somehow I feel that if I express and share my thoughts and feelings with others, I'll have a clearer picture of what the next step would be. Then again, maybe not...
One thing's for sure, you'll be reading me a lot more. I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
