My life the past week has been primarily consumed by taking a million practice tests for my written driving exam that I will have next Tuesday. It may seem crazy, but considering that this is one of the only times of the year where I actually have time to do so, since the semester doesn't begin for a couple more weeks, and since i have already paid about 300+ euros and to take the test again would cost between 100 and 150 euros more, I would rather put the time in to make sure i pass it (which basically consists of memorizing the entire book and making NO mistakes). It seems an insane amount of time for a driver's test, but i feel just about ready. thank God! I am obviously doing more than just this, but not much more. So, most likely when I take, and God-willing pass, I will resume blogging and such... :-)

RELAXing

So, I am back. I am in Madrid and not planning to go anywhere anytime soon. And I must say that it feels good, very good.

After three months of traveling, half the time in the US and half the time here in Spain and all the time working (even though it was fun), it is really nice to be home. And it is really nice to have some time to get my feel firmly on the ground again. It is nice to have running water, to have a wonderful bed, to have time to read whatever book I want to, to clean, to decorate, to organize, to get rid of clutter, and to RELAX! Ahhhhh.... so nice.

And fortunate for me the weather here is FABULOUS! In the day it's warm, but not too warm, and at night there is a nice cool breeze. So nice!

So I have a couple days to relax and recuperate and then to study like crazy to finish up a seminary class and studying for my driving test. :-) Ahh... so nice...
