Alrighty. So it's crunch time. Today is my official last day at American Tap Room and I'm leaving to sail (fly) over the wild blue yonder to the land of wine and siestas. I'M GOING TO SPAIN!!! Ahhh I can't fathom this. I think people laugh when I tell them that I can't afford a ticket home, but it's the truth. I can hardly (and by hardly I mean not really) afford my first couple months in Spain because as an Auxiliar (or rather, Language Assistant because I'm going through a different program) I don't get paid until mid-November/mid-December. Yikes. Add this to all of the other things I have to do to get prepared and OMG.
I've yet to pack a single thing, but I have however jumped the ball on a few things. Thanks to fellow auxiliars who are a million times better at blogging than me, I've gotten some things settled. For one, I already have an unlocked cell phone. Plans in Spain are apparently uber cheap (links to come in a subsequent post), but the phones are expensive by themselves. That and my visa I can successfully check off. As for everything else... Well, I have to get to that. In lieu of packing, I've decided to online apartment scout and drink wine because that seems infinitely more fun. Updates to come.
