Hola Espana!

Iv'e been here for a little over 3 weeks now. A few words that can comprehend how I feel is: excited. excited. excited, and add a little anxious (to move in and start teaching). Of course, there is an array of other emotions added in there, which will be mentioned through out this post.

I know all the day to day details can get arid, but I've been lacking on the blogging since being here, so here is an update of my life in Sevilla.

After a few days, I will have been moved into my new apartment with 4 roomies in the neighborhood of Los Remidos on Asuncion street, a lively charming street where no cars can drive, full of cafes, shops, and spanish culture. It's a 4 bedroom place (2 will be sharing) with an open large front room with couches and a kitchen table and a cute little balcony overlooking the hustle and bustle of the street 3 floor below. There's a tiny cocina, 1.5 bathrooms, and a back balcony. (Pics later of house later)

I start teaching my little ninos next Monday. Yesterday, I went to the school to meet the teachers and my bilingual teacher, Angeles who is very sweet (as most Spaniards are). For those who know me, I know muy poco Spanish which makes it difficult not to be able to communicate everything I wish to my fellow co-workers. They seem really kind and I wish I could develop relationships with them, but I can't (as of now) with the language barrier. After a few weeks, I will hopefully know more. There are about 40 teachers at the school, and about 5 know some English, so I'm not completely alone.

Everyone talks about culture shock when being or moving to another country. I think I am more immune to it than others, maybe because i crave to be in another culture. It’s natural for me to understand and accept the culture differences.

Adios for now.
