Let me first start by saying that I don't consider myself a horribly vain person. I, of course, like to look well put together, but I wouldn't necessarily call that vanity.
We who have nothing to lose must sing and dance before the riches of the world overcome us. We who have nothing to lose must laugh and dance lest our laughter goes from us.-Langston Hughes

Homeless to Embajadores
Mi habitación |
Yesterday (Thursday, September 13, year of our Lord 2012) marked the one week anniversary of my arrival to Spain! I know some of you are asking what I did to celebrate this momentous occasion...or not.

The First 48
I arrived in Madrid at 9:55 a.m. on Thursday, September 6, 2012, after a 15 hour journey from South Alabama. The three plane rides were pretty uneventful, though checking in at the airport was headache-inducing. I'm the world's worst packer and can find a way to pack too much for a weekend at a friend's house.
Welcome!
Bienvenido! Bienvenuto! Karibu! 歓迎!
I've decided to blog about my experiences as an English Teaching Assistant in Madrid because it seems like the most efficient way in which to keep my family and friends updated about my adventures here. My goal is to discuss any interesting tidbit that I come across, including observations, the inevitable protests, etc.
First, here's a little background on how I got here.
