Sin Título: March 2013

I'm not very good with titles. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Everyone break out your bikini and sunscreen because it's SPRIIIIIING BREEEEAAAAK. Wait, I forgot that this isn't Southern California and it's been raining all month. Also, I don't even own a bikini. Of course, the airlines know that, and its also one of the more expensive times to explore the corners of Europe. Tuesday, 26 March. We left on Tuesday morning, arriving an hour and a half early for our train ride. The beauty of trains is that you on...

Sin Título: October 2012

http://un-blog-sin-titulo.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

I'm not very good with titles. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. OK, so a month has passed without updates. Here's an quick list on what's happened since:. Plane ride went well. I had a personal television screen on both flights, and I watched the Avengers. Everything arrived on schedule and without complaints. I spent the first week or so with Álvaro's family in Leganés. While it was infinitely better than a hostal, I definitely started to get cabin fever, and wanted to settle in to my new apartment. It's be...

I'm not very good with titles. Monday, December 10, 2012. Ah, the Spanish puente- a long weekend. We've had quite a few puentes this year, although the majority have fallen on a Friday, when I conveniently don't work (a "first world problem": Woe is me, I can't take the day off because I already have. That day off). The remaining long weekends I've spent either sick in bed or furniture shopping. Fun. Wait, what do you mean "his pueblo"? Time for a Spanish culture lesson. We went to Álvaro's pueblo. In Ga...

Sin Título: August 2013

I'm not very good with titles. Saturday, August 31, 2013. Been to Germany quite a few times in my life. When I studied abroad in Madrid in the spring of 2011, I highly considered a weekend getaway to Berlin. However, flights were too expensive so I chose the cheaper alternative- Amsterdam- for my northern European fix. Then, this past winter, I learned about German Christmas markets. I thought, "Well that should be a lovely way to spend Christmas break, since I won't be going home.". You can imagine my s...

I'm not very good with titles. Thursday, June 27, 2013. No more pencils, no more books. It's my last day of school, and now seems as good a time as any to reflect on my first year as an auxiliar de conversación. First, what the heck does it mean to be an auxiliar. Or "language assistant", if you prefer my english title)? According to Spain's Ministry of Education:. The North American Language and Culture Assistants Program is an academic continuing education grant. The basic duties of the assistant are:.

Sin Título: April 2013

http://un-blog-sin-titulo.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

I'm not very good with titles. Monday, April 29, 2013. What gets left behind. I have a lot of words my head that when, sitting in front of this computer screen, seem to stall at my fingertips. I'm not sure what to say but I feel like something needs to be said, if only to give some form to my thoughts. Maybe I can stop the buzzing in my skull. I've kept this blog fairly personal, but at this moment I feel some distance is necessary. Tend to glamourize living abroad. Look at our exciting expat lives!

Sin Título: Catch Up

http://un-blog-sin-titulo.blogspot.com/2014/05/catch-up.html

I'm not very good with titles. Sunday, May 25, 2014. I love Halloween. Always have. This year I convinced Álvaro to take me to the Parque de Atracciones. To check out the Halloween-themed decorations and haunted houses. We went with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. In one haunted house, I had a complete stranger cling to my dress the whole way through. Fun times. Again I am a creature of habit. I got pick-pocketed for the first time! The American's golden ticket to long-term residency in Spain. While we ...

Sin Título: That time I tried to run a 10k

http://un-blog-sin-titulo.blogspot.com/2013/10/that-time-i-tried-to-run-10k.html

I'm not very good with titles. Sunday, September 22, 2013. That time I tried to run a 10k. I found out about Madrid Corre por Madrid. In June. I was just getting back into running- if that's what you would call my 10min/mile zombie shuffle. The event description drew me in. Run through all the main sights of Madrid? There was just one problem:. It was a 10k race. I managed to miss both trains, adding an extra 13 minutes to my travel time. Once off the metro, I rushed to the bag check to drop off my s...

Sin Título: Dia de la Bicicleta

http://un-blog-sin-titulo.blogspot.com/2013/10/dia-de-la-bicicleta.html

I'm not very good with titles. Sunday, October 6, 2013. Dia de la Bicicleta. I think I'm finally catching up with real-time events. As it turns out I am allergic to exercise, and as punishment my body has broken my ankle. Stupid glass bones. But there is a silver lining to having a bum ankle! The best option, therefore, was a folding bike. After searching on segundamano. A second-hand website), I bought a bike. With new bikes ride around. All in all, it was a cool way to test out my bike. I would've ...
