October/November
This past month flew by. The first week of October, the Medieval festival came to town. It was amazing for the first few days to see everyone dressed up, the music, the amazing food, the stands, the performances..but after a few days, the never-ending crowds got to me and I was happy when the week was over.
This same month I got a job teaching English, which made me realize that I could actually...

one month
it’s been hard to post anything without having a camera, because words just can’t capture the experience as well as a photo. but i’ll try to write a brief summary of my first month so as to have something to go back to.
the first thing i really noticed about spain is how warm and friendly people are. no matter if they are meeting you for the first time, or if they are your best...

finally a true spaniard:
stayed up all night partying and hopping from bar to bar (and karaoke, and discos), then went looking for a chuperia, finally found one after following a drunk man, waited outside the said-chuperia until its opening, rewarded ourselves with chocolate con churros/porras, and arrived home at 7am. (advise to the wise: do not attempt in new heels)
now to be repeated in madrid.
(also, camera is...

You can do the work.

Pep Talk: You’re smart, so there are a lot of instances where you don’t have to work very hard to get by. Good for you! Sometimes though, you want to do more than get by. You want to create a result that really means something and makes you proud. When that time comes, you should probably get off the time-suck websites, take out your headphones, and really do the work. With a...

Nadal def Isner 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4
what a match! definitely not expected for a first round. nadal made a lot of errors during the first half of the match, but picked it up and played some of his best tennis in the 4th set. the problem with isner is his height- when isner serves, nadal has to stand very far behind the serve line, and instead of succumbing to nadal’s well-placed shots, isner can just lean over with his lanky...

Pep Talk: There’s really nothing like gratitude. It makes everything better. People are doing nice things for you all over the place and it’s up to you to be happy about it. Someone is thinking a pleasant thought about you and wishing you well. Someone loaned you their pen or held the elevator door for you. Someone left a couple squares of toilet paper on the roll and soon you’re...
