I've been in Spain now officially for 4 weeks! And over the last few weeks I've probably experienced every emotions known to man! But mostly happiness and surprise …AND some confusion :) For one, my students are great! A complete 360 from my middle school monsters in Korea lol.

MAY DAY, May Day
Where does all the time go? Interestingly enough I listened to a very thought provoking discussion about "time" yesterday on NPR. April has flown by! But I feel as though I've said this about every month since 2013 started. I, for one, CAN...NOT...BELIEVE..I've been home from almost 7 months. Well actually 6 since I spent a month in Jamaica.

Gyllenhaal Fever!
I have a slight obsession with Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm actually not sure when it started but I adore him, his acting ability and his eyes *swoons*. On Sunday night I ventured out to the movies with my sister and her friends. We decided to see Resident Evil in 3D. Now I haven't been to the movies in America in years. I think the last movie I saw was...actually I don't even … [Read more...]
