Now that I've been back in the good ole' US of A long enough to realize that yes, people really do speak English here and stores don't use Euros but instead the American dollar, I am beginning to look forward. I've had too much fun spilling my beans about all the really great random things that I call my life, and I don't want that to come to an end just because I'm in the same country as all of you again.
So, here's the sitch. (cue Kim Possible ringtone) I'm going to continue this blog this summer by mixing the old with the new. A couple new stories, a couple flashbacks to things that I didn't get to from Spain, and a couple things that I have come across that every girl (and the occasional brave guy too!) should know. Because in the journey towards "pura vida" you've got to stop, breathe, and take it all in.
So what am I doing when I'm not "fiesta"-ing with the Spaniards? Well here's a little sneak peek into what's to come for me. This fall, I'm studying in Chicago. It's really a dream opportunity: working with top architecture firms in a thriving city, spending three months with some of the coolest most intelligent people I know, and pushing my limits of comfort by throwing myself into a new area to call home. But in an architectural world full of Helvetica and all black hipster outfits, what's a girl to do to retain her originality?
Well my friends, it's called the wonderful world of crafting. Take a trip down an aisle of Michael's, and if you aren't inspired you need to go get your head checked. With so many inexpensive ways to brighten a room, you can flex your imagination muscles and still have money to spend on that new dress that you really don't need!
In the days to come, I'm going to be posting my newest adventures, my successes, and my fails and hopefully lots of beautiful final projects! I hope yall will like them...!
hasta luego mis queridos!
