!Aventuras Nuevas!

Hello all!!

I'm starting up my blog again because, guess what? I'm leaving again!! Yup, that's right, I'm taking off, leaving this wasteland country and heading back to Spain!  I'm heading out for a new adventure.

I just graduated school almost 3 weeks ago now and have been working on my application process and getting everything set up with CIEE to head off and teach English abroad as a Language and Culture Assistant.  This program works in tandem with the Spanish government (junta) and sets people like me up with schools all over the country, and even all over the world, to help teach English to a variety of age groups at local schools.  So, I thought I would make a new post just so anyone who visits now won't be confused.

I will leaving for Sevilla, Spain on September 15th and be there until at least May 31st.  Come September I leave for Sevilla for a 5 day orientation program where they help us learn more about all the things we need to know to live and survive in a foreign country.  They'll give us info on finding an apartment, applying for our Spanish ID and all sorts of other things.  From there I'll be leaving for the city where I was placed, Huelva.  I'll be living in Huelva until May and get to teach English there at my school located right in the city, IES Clara Campoamor.  I'll do another post later about the city I'll be living in, and I'll post some other more posts about the process I'm going through.  Also, my new goal for this blog is to keep these posts shorter than last time.  Last year I was writing waaay too much, haha.  So new goal, write more concise posts!

Other than that, I don't have much more to say right now.  I have my visa appointment in July and am just getting all the paperwork I need for that together, along with paying the outrageous fees that are included.  Also, welcome to my new and improved blog!  I just updated it, the background and the layout so it's much more user friendly. :)

Map of where I'll be!

Until next time,
Bonnie
