Update
It seems like my life has been living in fast forward since mid february. I dont have much time to sit down and blog a little. my mom and aunt came to visit last week and left a few days ago. We went to 3 different cities (not including malaga) and saw a lot.
I've had a weird cold that wont go away.
My computer was broken.
I've gotten a tan from being outside...Its sunny everyday now.
The date for me to leave is nearer and I'm starting to get sad about it all. Just last night a friend of mine was trying to convince me to change my ticket again...I had a lot of ups and downs here but I'm going to miss this place so much.

Ouf of your comfort zone
An american girl moves to southern Spain for about 8 months to teach at an elementary school. Sounds kind of weird right? When i put it that way I can hardly believe it myself. At first it seemed as if it would be easy, however as soon as I arrived I realized I was about to start an 8 month life experience that I know would be anything but easy.
No matter how much I tried to blend in, it just never seemed to work. first task while in spain, get in a cab and get to my hotel. Easy enough right? Too bad I had been pronouncing the name of the street wrong...right off the bat I stuck out.
Learning that my school just so happened to be located in the mountains a mere hour and a half away from the city, oh and by the way, NO public transportation goes there regularly, made me a bit anxious. I started to have second thoughts about being there. But then, as usual, God came through and suddenly I had a place to live (with good roommates), and a ride to work.
There are so many other obstacles I would encounter from that moment until now and there are many more obstacles Im sure are around the corner. But am I happy that I came here? NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
