Me Mudaré a España: April 2009
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Me Mudaré a España. Sunday, April 19, 2009. 8221; in English. In equally clear English he said to me, “Oh, you don’t speak Finnish? 8221; like I had just told him that the world was flat. He didn’t seem to believe that I wasn’t a Finn. Also, to pay you just get up and walk to the register and they magically know where you were sitting and what you ate. While difficult to remember, after a few days I was accustomed to this new approach to eating. It was kind of strange to wander around because about 800 c...

Me Mudaré a España: My Final Post
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-final-post.html
Me Mudaré a España. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Since I last posted, well over a month ago, many things have happened, including my return from Spain. That being said, this post will be the last one for this blog. Who knows, maybe my next adventure will be blog-worthy, maybe not…. Probably. Halfway through blabbing at him about living and teaching in Madrid I realized that I probably sounded like one of those people who had rehearsed a story to get through customs. Luckily he didn’t mind, much. Upon return ...

Me Mudaré a España: February 2009
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Me Mudaré a España. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Back by Popular Demand. I thought I could get away with posting only. When something interesting happened. I was wrong. Sorry. In the past week I've received several comments on my lack of blogging, some wondering if everything was alright. I am fine, just in a routine with school that I don't find particularly thrilling. Still after 34 years of democracy the effects of dictatorship influence the people. To close the show they played a song from a very young...

Me Mudaré a España. Friday, June 27, 2008. Just as I predicted. As predicted, things will fall in to place and I will move to Spain! Links to this post. Monday, June 16, 2008. A Response from The Embassy. This is the response I received:. Me consta que las comunidades autónomas han empezado a enviar las cartas, y algunos auxiliares ya las han recibido. No pueden tardar mucho. Mientras tanto puedes repasar las instrucciones sobre la solicitud del visado en nuestra página web. 161;Gracias por tu paciencia!

Me Mudaré a España. Monday, January 26, 2009. 18 Weeks Down, 24 to Go! What to say, what to say. Also in school related news, Thursday this week is Peace Day. This means that the kids will be learning to sing Micheal Jackson's. Complete with actions. When I was younger I liked Micheal Jackson, mostly the. Album This particular song now drives me nuts. It is fair to say I hate it. Now I get to listen to it over and over and over. It is like Eduardo knew and has selected it jus to torture me! When Thursday...

Me Mudaré a España: August 2008
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Me Mudaré a España. Friday, August 29, 2008. Things Fall into Place! In most of my previous posts I basically complained about how nothing is working out exactly the way I wanted, while recognizing the need to just chill and trust the universe to sort itself out in my favor. Looks like that has happened! Lets go though a check-list:. Program that pays me to be in Spain- Check! Ticket to Madrid- Check! 3rd Roommate in the Apartment- Check! Visa back from the consulate- Check! I'm sure this is the transatl...

Me Mudaré a España: September 2008
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Me Mudaré a España. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Two Days of Training. For example in Spanish) when the kids try to hug you front-on you were supposed to slide them over into a side-hug, just to avoid any possible allegations of sexual touching. Here some of the kids kiss their teacher good-bye at the end of the day. This is going to take some getting used to. Between 11 and 11:30? I wonder what the full time schedule is going to be; Show up when you feel like it? Links to this post. Everything closes at...

Me Mudaré a España: May 2008
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Me Mudaré a España. Saturday, May 24, 2008. I love Spain. Let me say that up front. But sometimes I love the very American value of efficiency. In the US, a common phrase is "if you're five minutes early, you're on time. if your on time, you're late." People show up to things early, expecting that they start and end on time. As a country, we Americans really value time and show that by ardently following deadlines and appointment schedules. I'm moving to Spain, the details will fall into place. I've been...

Me Mudaré a España: If a Cat Has Kittens in an Oven are they Biscuits?
http://myreturntospain.blogspot.com/2009/05/if-cat-has-kittens-in-oven-are-they.html
Me Mudaré a España. Friday, May 22, 2009. If a Cat Has Kittens in an Oven are they Biscuits? A few weeks back I went to an Irish themed bar in Madrid. These things are popular everywhere, but there is one in particular that we frequented when I was studying abroad. At Dubliner's one can speak English with most of the patrons, watch American sports like basketball and for an evening forget that you are in Spain. This particular time our group ended up talking to an individual named Pepe. When discussing i...
