bees-knees: “… a girl who reads possesses a vocabulary that can describe that amorphous discontent as a life unfulfilled—a vocabulary that parses the innate beauty of the world and makes it an accessible necessity instead of an alien wonder. A girl who reads lays claim to a vocabulary that distinguishes between the specious and soulless rhetoric of someone who cannot love her, and the...

Someone slipped something into my drink last night.  I started feeling light headed when I finished my second Whiskey Sour. I tucked my camera back into my bag, turned away from the stage, and tried to make my way through the crowd to the bathroom so I could splash some water on my face. About halfway back, two guys stopped me and asked if I remembered who they were. I could barely see them and...

I bought a journal when I was in Madrid. I’ve been writing things in it. Things like, you know, my feeeeelings about stuff and my hopes and dreams for the future and, like, other journal-y/diary-y stuff. It’s not something I’ve ever done before but I’m really enjoying it. It’s already helped me to figure out a few things and I hope that I don’t stop doing it. I...

I’m flying from Barcelona to Minneapolis on Tuesday. What am I looking forward to? Oh, so many things! Good showers, a bed that isn’t shorter than I am, the food I love, seeing my family, seeing friends, being in a country where the clothes and especially the shoes actually fit, having a heater during the winter. What else? Snow and Christmas and NYE and sledding and the Holidazzle!...

Hrrmph. I sent out my CV to nearly 200 academies and schools but have received a frustrating amount of ‘failed delivery’ replies. #bcnlife

Couples on the Barcelona metro kiss with abandon. Sighing, giggling, moaning, gasping, and groaning are all commonly heard sounds. #bcnlife

I started the “Business Extension Course” through TEFL International, Barcelona today. Dunno if it’ll be worth it but it didn’t cost too much, it’s only two days long, and I’m hoping it will spruce up my slightly paltry resume a bit. I sent my CV, cover letter, and reference letters out to over 150 schools a few minutes ago. It’s unlikely that I’ll...

Oof. Worst blogger award goes to me, eh? We had a long lovely weekend. No class on Monday or Tuesday but the exam was first thing Wednesday morning. I had to teach a 1.5 hour long class that afternoon so it was a pretty long day but now I’m done! We had to go in this morning for final tutorials (basically a 5 minute sit-down with a teacher) and a visit from Guy, the (omg really cute) TEFL...

Where my girls at? We’re gonna have movie nights on the regular when I get home, right? Um. With wine. And baked goods, yeah?

And boys, don’t you worry. I wanna hang out with you too. Come over for N64 and bonfires please?

Ha! As of this moment, my only expenses are rent, food, cell phone minutes, and a metro pass. Damn. That’s a good feeling. #bcnlife

I went to a happy hour with a bunch of other teachers or wanna-be teachers last  night. It was nice to meet some new people (including a cute boy), and it was especially interesting to hear about their experiences in looking for jobs. I have a feeling that it’s gonna be harder than our teachers have been making it sound. I got in late last night and woke up this morning to a text from Amy,...

School. Final exam prep. Teaching super intense classes. Drama (like, really fucked-up and disappointing drama). Last full week with everyone. Sigh.

ManOman. The commute I looked forward to last week is killing me this week. 40 minutes from bedroom to classroom via the metro. Oy. #bcnlife
