Ah Sunday. It was just Friday, wasn’t it? This weekend went way too quickly, but that means it was a good one. 🙂 Last time we chatted, it was Friday and I was off to run a bunch of errands. I did all of that, taught a private lesson, stopped at Cien Montaditos (I do […]
San Sebastian Weekend.
I went on my first vacation from the vacation this weekend! Annie and I headed to San Sebastián, which is in the north of Spain (Basque Country), borders Portugal and is on the Atlantic Ocean….except it does NOT look like Atlantic City. The water is…not brown. I am actually typing the skeleton of this post […]
Day in the Life: My First Week As An Auxiliar
I love looking back on old Day in the Life posts to see how my life has changed over time, so I plan to write a few of them while I am here in Spain. This post that I am writing reflects a typical Monday, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays are a bit different in that I […]
24 Euro Later.
And I am no longer eating 100% like a homeless person! Exhibit A- Today’s lunch! After shopping! Exhibit B- Today’s dinner!!!! I missed you, vegetables. It seems like many things in the supermarkets here are a bit cheaper than back at home. I was able to get a lot (seems like a lot to me) […]
How the Housing Search is Going and My First Time in a Club with 6 Floors.
ndfobr0th-4h-9dcjkndjgrhg-9ugihfhkbdfbfd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like that, but with a few screams, some hair pulling, and tears. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe this entire process. It’s not even that I am having absolutely no luck finding a place to live, but more the fact that we are given the impression that it’s “easy”, “totally doable” and “not […]
Summer In My Mind’s Eye
This winter was so brutally cold and long that I spent a lot of time wishing for summer to hurry up and get here and thinking about all the fun things I would be doing when it finally turned warm and sunny. Since I’m oh so creative, I pictured the beach and lots of time […]
Food Lately and Some Teddy, Too
Another accidental hiatus these past couple of weeks! It feels like I’ve been busier than busy with work (catering and hosting) and school (Spanish and calculus and OAT) and doing other summery things. I’ll try to fill you in with what I’ve been doing and eating with another Lately post. Here we goooo! Studying I’m […]
The First Weekend Post-Post-Bacc (Plus a few more days)
Happy Monday! As I write this, the girl that I babysit is taking a nap and I actually have time to write this instead of needing to study or “study” for this or that. It feels goooood to have nothing to do, but on the other hand, I feel a sense of “loss” now that […]
Sunday Food Prep 4/5/2015
Happy Sunday and Happy Easter if you celebrate in your neck of the woods! My family doesn’t celebrate Easter (but we do celebrate Passover and I am still full from last night’s Seder (click the link to learn about seders!). Or maybe I’m full because I’ve been picking at e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g I’ve made for this week’s […]
Sunday Food Preppin’
Happy Sunday! This weekend has been oddly productive! Not only did I spend a good 5 hours getting homework and to-dos done yesterday (after a 4 hour nap, of course), but I was awake at 7:30 this morning! Since I was feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I used the extra time for some food prep. I’m […]
