Moving out!

So, it´s been a while since my last entry and all my blog readers (aka both of my parents) have been bothering me to write an update. Here goes...

So, it´s mid-February and I´m finally moving out of my host family´s apartment at the end of the month. They were great while they lasted but I´m definitely ready to have my own space. The only unfortunate thing about my new digs is that my bedroom lacks a window. I once stayed in a London hotel room without a window for a long weekend and almost went completely crazy. Hopefully, I won´t really be spending that much time in the room and will take advantage of the huuuge living room instead. I´d really like to have some dinner parties!

I´m currently taking about 20 hours of Spanish lessons per week. Well, I actually just got a new English class to teach 2 times a week so that´s now cut down to 12. I think the lessons are really helping but I´m still trying to talk to more native speakers. The majority of my friends are other English teachers so this makes it difficult to practice my Spanish all the time. Living with a family has helped which is why Í´ve stayed there for so long. Luckily, there´s a Colombian guy living in the place where I´ll be moving to.

I´m starting to get excited for my dad to visit at the end of April! I´ve started to look for hotels (one with a pool and preferably some sort of spa!...haha)

Well, that´s all for now!
