Tsweat & Tsing Tao

Oh my god. I love my students. And my job. I know- what a relief, right? I’m also glad I waited until Friday afternoon to write this update. This week has honestly been a series of extreme ups and downs and y’all caught me at an up for sure. So I’ve officially been living in […]

And so it begins…

I made it! And I have so much to tell you. So since it had been such a long hiatus, I realized that I didn’t even explain how I got the job that I have here or where it is, etc. etc. So let me back it up a bit… In March(?) of 2017, I […]

All the feels

Of course, I’m back. Honestly- apologies to anyone who would like to faithfully follow this blog and my adventures because I am THE WORST at updating this thing. BUT, I have come to the conclusion that that is just how it’s got to be. So I’m proud of myself for sitting down and typing this […]

And we back

To whom it may concern: I realize it has been a year since I’ve updated this blog. And that this entry is way overdue. However, other than a lot of schoolwork and coffee, there hasn’t been much to report until recently. So here’s the 411: I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my Master’s degree […]

Man, I’m really bad at keeping a blog…

So clearly time stops for no one. The last month and a half have been insane! 12 hour days at work and then lesson planning at night and trying to fit some travel and sleep in on the weekends. So my contract ended and I am currently in Milan on vacation and caught up on […]

So far so good…

After literally 24 hours of traveling, I made it to my hotel in Paris. That night I ate pizza at a place down the street and people watched, took a shower and slept for 12.5 hours. I’ll attach this week’s sleep schedule as told by my Fitbit. It’s atrocious. Anywho, on my free day in […]

Location, location, location.

I’ve been assigned my placement: I’ll be at the Chateau d’ Azé. And my camp counselor name is Arizona! The grades from last semester are in and I made it out of there with all A’s again! Also, I’m currently dog-sitting for my brother and attempting to pack. Why do I always need at least five […]

Let the Countdown Begin!

Hi… I realize my last few months in Madrid sort of went undocumented last year. As I remember, I was super busy with my Spanish family and preparing for my DELE exam (which I passed at a B2 level)! And now I keep in contact with my Spanish family through email and skype regularly (still […]

1 Marzo 2015

Hola! Sorry, I know, it’s been a while. I’ve been working, going to school, and relaxing on the weekends. But I’ve got so much to catch you up on! Well I’ll start with general update about work… Cris and I switched cars so we could keep the mileage (kilometrage?) even on them so now I […]

New friends, Premature Christmas excitement, and Procrastination.

So at first I thought this blog would be really hard to keep up, especially because I’m not totally excited about sharing all of my life with strangers on the internet… but I actually get stressed out when I don’t write often enough. I guess I’m afraid if I don’t write it all down I’ll […]
