Alas, the day has come! I have been wanting/trying/looking for an excuse to write a blog. This is the perfect time and something (hopefully) that someone will want to read about.
Close to graduation, my parents were visiting me at school. My dad asked me what I was planning on doing when I graduated. When I replied that I wanted to go to Europe my dad just said "See ya!" It was my blessing.
My whole life I have been on the track to work. I've wanted to have a big kid job since I was in high school. During the Fall semester of 2008 I studied abroad in Salamanca, Spain for 4 months. I never thought I'd want to be in a place so badly. When I returned in December I wanted to, but I soon realized that life in another country was something that I wanted to experience.
Upon graduation I had several teachers email about a teaching position in Spain. With a lot of hope and some optimism I got the papers together that were needed to apply. I did research on how long it would take for me to hear and anxiously awaited a (VERY) long 4 months to find out that I would be teaching 5 and 6 year olds in Alhaurin el Grande in the province of Malaga.
After visiting with family and friends I feel as if it is necessary to create some sort of mass information system to allow them to access information about my life and what I'm doing. So here it is...a blog. A look into my life as I hop the pond (as my dad would say) to go on a European lifestyle adventure!
