I’m interrupting my normally scheduled programming of obnoxiously slamming you with Italy posts to live blog for a second. My roommate is running around the apartment, collecting last minute things here and there because she is moving home after being in Madrid for 3 years. She was in Spain for an additional semester before […]
A Typical Tuesday!
Hi! I thought I would show you what my day looked like yesterday (Tuesday), which is quite standard on the auxiliar and teaching front. 7:55 // My alarm goes off, so I hop out of bed and snooze for another 9 minutes of sleep. 8:04 // I get up for real because I am supposed […]
A Day in the Life of an Auxiliar de Conversacion in Madrid: December 2016
I don’t do these types of posts very often, but they are, without a doubt, one of my favorites to go back and read. Your days might feel very ordinary, but they change and evolve over time- everything from what you do, to who you know, what you eat, what you wear, etc., will change. […]

How Things are Going.
Howdy, ya’ll!! I’m typing this up from my bedroom, wearing cozy sweatpants and an over-sized soft sweater with a hot cup of coffee and rain pouring down outside. We have the day off today for the National Day of Spain. When I asked my students why we had off today, the overwhelming answer was “i have […]
Lately.
Hey, hey! Now that summer has quietly made it’s exit, it feels like fall is rolling in quite nicely. I know it won’t last, since we have a heat wave this weekend, but it is nice to feel the chill in the air and know that cozy sweater weather is on the horizon. One […]

A Day in the Life: End of My First Year as an Auxiliar
This is a typical Wednesday- definitely my longest and most grueling day of the week, but also my last “difficult day”, as I finish work at 1:20 pm on Thursday, with no lessons in the afternoon, and no work on Fridays. Life is too good… On Mondays and Thursdays, I start work at 9:20, so […]
