It has been a crazy first month here in Madrid! Unlike studying abroad, when you teach abroad/work abroad, everything isn't set up for you upon arrival!! We have to look for our own housing, set up our own appointments to allow us to stay in the country past what our visa says, find your way around, set up our own phone/internet/etc...
So what have I been up to? In a nutshell:
- finding an apartment-- it was no easy task!
- settling in w/ Lauren...THANK GOD FOR IKEA!
- exploring Madrid
- eating, drinking & siesta-ing
- traveling! (stay tuned to hear about Germany & Barcelona...)
- starting school
Thanks for bearing with me the last month..lots of blogging to come in the next few days :)
