Big Bigger Biggest...

...NEWS, that is. (We are working on comparative and superlative adjectives in my Public Administration English 2 class, so my brain is in Grammar Land...)

Let me start with the big news:

The big news is that I am very much looking forward to making a trip home to PA for my Spring Break, the first week of April! It will be here before I know it!

Even bigger news is that I have two good friends coming to visit me this week. One is a former classmate from MIIS, Kate. She is arriving tomorrow evening. The other is a woman I met while I was the Coordinator of the Teacher Training program for Bilingual Educators from Madrid 2 summers ago in Vermont. Her name is Lauren and she arrives tonight. I am very much looking forward to seeing them both and to showing them around Valladolid. Then on Friday, we are all going to Playa del Carmen for a bit of Spring Break beach time! I have a three day weekend which will be wonderful, considering all the things that have been going on. Good times...

Which brings me to the biggest news: I am now officially living in my own apartment! After way too many weeks of bouncing from place to place, trying to find the right situation and never feeling settled, I am now moved into a pretty little studio very close to the center of town. I have wireless internet, high ceilings, a full kitchen, and lots of closet space. Best of all, I have it all to myself. I am looking forward to cooking dinner and doing some watercolor painting on my white tiled countertop. I will post pictures of the new place as soon as I can!

Things have been crazy but it seems like they may finally be mellowing out. I´ll be updating my blog more frequently now that I have a home of my own again.
